With Kate recently canned from her long-time TV gig and the bad economy, the mom-of-eight is asking her children to focus less on the gifts this year and more on giving back to the community.
Kate Gosselin is doing her best to instill life lessons in her little ones. HollyBaby.com spoke with a source close to the Gosselin family who tells us that Kate told her kids “one gift this year so start thinking about what you want.” Do you agree with how Kate is handling Christmas?
“Kate’s budget is tight,” a source tells us. “Kate has always tried to make sure her kids aren’t greedy, but this year especially she is trying to teach them that Christmas isn’t about gifts. She told them to start deciding what they want so she can tell Santa.”
We told you Kate doesn’t get the kids on Christmas Day but she does on Christmas Eve. Maybe their dad Jon Gosselin will shower them with more gifts?
We actually commend Kate for this, do you?

She has had extensive plastic surgery, wears designer clothes, and appears to be a greedy opportunist…so this is only a feeble attempt to make herself look good. However, it only makes her look more pathetic than usual (if that’s possible).

Would she have been better off financially if she had never done this reality show and continued working as a nurse even if her husband still left her?

Kate Gosselin is a money grubbing witch. Look at all the free stuff she accepts and expects—-and then she wants to give them one gift. I bet she would except any and all gifts given to her. She needs to get a life and stay off of TV. The majority of the American public could care less about her. I always felt sorry for Jon because she was such a witch; however, I think he went a little wild at the end. Glad to see he has calmed down some. Now if Kate would just go away.

This is another story that is not true. For days Kate has been complaining, while bragging about ALL the gifts she has to wrap for her kids. Days and days of wrapping, she is exhausted, don’t you know. Bragging about all the gifts, then says she bought yet another new vehicle. That is THREE new cars/suv’s this year. Poor, poor single fired mommy. How many vacations for herself so far? LOL what a liar this fool is.

Hmm, maybe if she hadn’t spent a fortune on designer duds for herself all these years, she could afford more. She is not trying to teach them anything, she is selfish!

Total lie – do your research. She blogged for cc that if she saves money it’s more gifts for them – but her real focus is on her, it’s more “hugs” for her. It’s always about Kate. “Oh, how I love to save money, especially around the holidays. The money I save means my kids get more gifts and more gifts for them means I get more smiles and hugs on Christmas morning. And that, in itself, is the perfect gift for me!” She is the most greedy self centered mother I have ever seen. She says running marathon teaches kids. BS all it teaches them it that mommy is gone again. What did we do wrong now. She rather be gone than home with us, helping with homework, cooking our dinner. The kids, especially 7 year olds have no concept if she ran 100 miles, 5 miles. half way around the world. All they know is where is mommy. The older girls are probably on her and know that mommy would rather travel far far away with her boy friend Steve.

Come forth people, thats your cue to send gifts and more gifts to the poor Gosselin children that have a mommy worth 5 million dollars.How freakin pathetic is Kate? Most everything sent to the 8 kids will be sold to consignment shops,if there happens to be something of value and usable Kate will give it to the kids from her.Kate’s family is famous for grifting. Did you know Kates sister Clarissa Kreider has donations of almost 30 thousand dollars. yes $30,000! She is asking for donations through the Go Fund Me site, apparently needs the money to adopt an ethiopian child.Cannot afford to adopt but wants everyone else to support her family. Sound familiar? You bettcha Kate Kreider(Gosselin) has taught her well. Kates favorite line “I have 8 children to support all by myself(Jon pays child support) Please give to those that truly need a helping hand. Many children will have nothing this holiday season.

And then Kate, playing the dumb card, says on National TV or to anyone who will listen, I don’t um, um, ah, ah, honestly, ah, understand why people don’t like me or I have haters. She is so dispicable.

Damn you believe everything you watch on television. You should be watching jersey shore instead of Kate plus 8. taking her kids on vacations that they really enjoy. At least she’s not making money on been a drunk and screwing different people every night like the jersey shore.

No that’s true…she is just a complete wench who screams at her kids 24-7 and spoils herself with designer clothing, cars, stylists, spa treatments, vacations, and plastic surgery. So much better.

Oh yea, I forgot. The worst part is Kate Gosselin does not get the fact that people think she is a joke and just make fun of her. Kate, get some intensive therapy.

Kate, Kate, Kate, the idiot Kate. I predict in one or two years she will pose for Playboy, if they change their mind and take her, because she will not get many credible company offers with her lack of honesty, credibility, integrity, humanity, and good parenting skills.
Any company or network would be crazy to offer Kate Gosselin anything with her horrid reputation unless it is a completely stupid project where the world can continue to make fun, chuckle, and mock her.

What a lying idiot Kate Gosselin. I thought she just got finished stating on her blog for CC that the more money she saves the more presents she buys her kids. Which is it Kate?
It would be nice if this lying, mental health basket case of a mother would put has much energy, commitment, and concern into raising her 8 children as she did to running a marathon.
It would have also been nice if this pathological liar, Kate Gosselin, would have put as much energy, commitment and concern into practicing when she was getting paid big bucks for Dancing With The Stars.
What a piece of work she is.

she should lead by example, and not expect her kids to not be greedy when she obviously is. Lets see her go a month without getting her hair or nails done or only buying one new thing for herself.
