    Ask your parents if there is anything you could do that you could make a little money for them. Or relatives.

    Ask to borrow money from a friend, and never pay back, or pay after the holiday!

    why do you need the money so badly?
    There isn’t much you can do.
    Unless you become famous, actor/actress, singer, tv adverts, modelling etc

  12. anongirl Says:

    definitely try babysitting or dog walking
    rake leaves/shovel snow for people in the winter if they want you to
    have a garage sale

    You could take a course Red Cross and get a Babysitting license (that helps out when advertising), and then put an ad in the paper.

    You could also get some friends together and offer to mow the neighbors’ lawns (or raking since it’s that time of year).

    And, of course, there’s always the classic lemonade stand option as well.

    Best of luck! =]

    make your own gifts with arts and crafts those are much more valuable

  15. Er930 Says:

    Clean out your closet and your old stuff, be creative and use them to make cool presents or have a garage sale!
    And you can even have some lemonade for 25 cents there too.

  16. Abner Says:

    yeah, babysit!
    Im 13, and I am in your same situation. I need money for Christmas too. Its good if you become certified, there is a better chance you will get the job if you are. You can be certified by a hospital or Safe Sitter. You just have to take a one day long class. Its fun! And its worth it. I also do chores too, it pays off. You will have money in no time!!

    Good luck!!

    Ask your parents about doing chores around the house for some cash. If your parents are alright with it check with the neighbors to see if you can earn some money raking leaves and cleaning their yards. It will cost you too much to put an ad in the phone book. It’s not a good idea at your age to post ads as you just don’t know who may be lurking around. Good luck.
    If all else fails think about making gifts for your Christmas giving. Make cookies everyone loves recieving homemade cookies.

    Besides chores hmm…You sure didn’t leave yourself with much. Sell things that you don’t need any longer. Or things that you are willing to replace at a later time,
