“You probably know how all this hope and hyperbole ends up. Over the course of December, I quietly quit all the extra projects I had assigned myself and instead resign to do the bare minimum of what the “mom at Christmas” job description requires. So at 1:00 a.m. on Christmas Day, I’m in the living room wrapping some presents but ultimately decide to just unbox most, positioning them under our pre-lit, white-tinsel tree. When the kids wake me on the sofa, still dressed from the potluck dinner the Howards cobbled together the night before, I’m a ghost and a grinch and I decide that for Christmas this year, I am giving myself the gift of not having to make homemade biscuits. One slap of a Pillsbury Grands can on the counter later, and my present is unwrapped.” | Posted on 12/Dec/2022 05:25:19
