Unless you’re a parent, in which case, it’s more like the most wonderful-chaotic-busy-exhausting-frenzy that you can barely keep up with. Thankfully, Twitter is full of parents who totally get it.
The Holiday Kickoff
It all kicks off with the holiday cards and family newsletters. You know, those delightful little “updates” that sometimes feel more like exaggerated fairy tales. And let’s not forget the ultimate myth of the season: Santa.
Holiday Baking Mayhem
As we dive into our holiday baking, there’s a good chance our kitchen turns into a war zone. Between rolling out cookie dough (while muttering under our breath) and dodging pine needles from our Christmas tree, it’s a wonder we survive!
Stringing Up Lights
Don’t get me started on stringing up lights outside—it’s like wrestling an octopus! Not to mention, every parent’s nightmare: the kids’ last-minute wish list revisions. And wrapping gifts? You need stealth skills for that.
The Dreaded Homemade Gifts
Then come those dreaded two words: homemade gifts. By the end of the month, we’re so strapped for cash that even essentials like toothpaste get wrapped up as Christmas surprises. Yes, we’re gifting socks and underwear, while secretly wishing for the same in return (hey, they can be comfortable!).
A Sprinkle of Magic
Despite the mess and mayhem, it’s incredible how kids bring a sprinkle of magic to the holidays. Merry Everything, everyone!
