ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Tabytha Gardener and William Foord say this Christmas holiday season feels quieter, more subdued than usual.
Normally, Christmas dinner for the Anchorage couple includes a prime rib roast or a turkey with all the trimmings, mashed potatoes, gravy, salad, a green bean casserole, corn for the picky ones, rolls, pumpkin and pecan pie, and apple cider.
This year, it's macaroni and cheese and hot dogs. Their bank account is overdrawn by $497.
