Maybe your daughters phone is good enough if she deletes stuff she isn't using? Clearing data and cookies in the browsing data also creates room. I think she is old enough to understand that you are low on money this year for Christmas and buying an expensive phone is not really an option right now. The true meaning of Christmas is not about the gifts anyways, it's about spending time together. In the future, you may want to get her to start saving for her own major purchases. It's a good learning experience so she can become more independent with her own money and teaches them that phones don't grow on trees lol
