I don't agree with pets for Christmas, not that you want to hear that.
I may know of a pom available, but you need to tell me and other potential sellers, what you are looking for in a dog.
Small isn't the only factor in a dog. You only listed 3 small breeds Yorkie, Chi, and Pom. All are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT in PERSONALITY.
For the most part Yorkies are terriers and as such have many terrier traits in a small package. One of my poms was grabbed by a yorkie in the group ring at a dog show.
Chi's are generally more reserved and tend to like more of a low key environment.
Poms are extroverts and like to be involved with it all. They don't know they are small and can be easily hurt because of this lack of fear.
A good breeder or rescue will only place a dog with the correct family for that dog. I wouldn't put a shy dog with a family with 3 active young kids. Same as I wouldn't put a excited in our face dog with a family that wanted a lap dog.
You said small, but that is relative what size are you really looking for? 5, 10, 15 lbs?
You said you have a budget, what kind of budget? $5, $50, $500?
You said puppy? What is the max age you are willing to except? 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, months?
Also telling us about you and your family, your lifestyle etc is important, we want people to be happy with a dog, and not have it mis-treated because it wasn't a good fit.
I do rescue and this year I had a 40+ man from a family of 4 turn over (2) 3 month old pom puppies to me, because his family couldn't handle all the work that they are. He didn't think it thru. His kids said dad we want the puppies and he got them. Only in 4 weeks to turn them over to rescue because they were a bad fit for them. This family had, been dog owners in the past, but poms weren't a good fit. It was hard on the whole family. I felt for them and the dogs. I am not saying you are the same, but this is why we ask so many questions.
Rescues charge 200-300 for adoption fees, breeders are generally higher or at the high end of rescue prices. Also you need to be ready to pay for additional costs on puppies like shots, neuter or spay, and general yearly health costs. I am sure you have thought of all of this, but your msg doesn't come across to that effect.
I wish you luck on your task to find a furry family member that is perfect for you all for life, not just Christmas.
I have had 3 
oinsetta, mistletoe, and holly. If the pet drinks the water from the base of the tree, they will get sick. Electrical cords are prime chew toys for puppies. Needless to say, electric shock can ensue. Tinsel from the tree can block the intestines. If you are already on a tight budget, how would you be able to afford expensive surgery right after buying the puppy? While on that note-how will you afford shots, spay, and regular monthly maintenance if the budget is already so tight that you are looking for a deal? BTW: the smaller a dog stays, the more expensive they are to purchase so if you do find one for cheap, be prepared for it to not be a healthy specimen from the get go.
