It's that time of year!
Jingle Bells, the baby smells, the 2 year old wants a snack, time for the kids' Zoom class and the Elf on the Shelf is back. HELP!

Silver lining!
I know school isn’t the same in 2020, but at least I won’t have to stand at the holiday show this year because Brenda is holding a whole row of seats for people who haven’t arrived yet

There are no rules.
It all makes sense now!
Good question!
With travel discouraged, how is the head office gonna send a workaholic to a small town in New Hampshire for the holidays so they can rediscover the meaning of Christmas?

Congrats!
Same.
Like any healthy marriage, I hide all Amazon packages before my husband gets home from work.

Just go with it.
Ignore.
Sending our condolences.
My husband took out the elf on the shelf last night and well I guess I should call a divorce lawyer Monday.

Keep saving them!
Lookin' good!
It's nice to have options...
Noted.
You can leave that pretzel on the floor. The toddler will eat it.

Sounds legit to us!
Yes!
I’m all about keeping a marriage spicy but stay out of my shower.

David Rose on a hose!
Why, though?

There are 5 of us in this house and 738 shoes by the front door this does not check out

Seriously?
We decorated for Christmas today and then these effers had the audacity to ask for dinner too.

It's a lost one, indeed...
My grown-up Christmas list...
All I want for Christmas is to go to the gym maskless again. Ok that’s a lie. I want some gift cards too. And a Romba. And for my car payment to disappear.

We see you.
I'm watching you!
Oops.
You probably shouldn’t teach your child to kick their dad in the chest while yelling “this is Sparta” I know this now.

We can get behind this workout plan...
Accurate.
Just me?
This is real.
The problem with children is that they are never as hung over as you are.
— Matty Pumpkin (@bestestname) November 29, 2020
It tests your patience!
You think you’re a chill mom until your kids cluster all the good ornaments on the same side of the tree.

So true...
Every time.
Surprise, surprise.
Not many at all...
If I had a nickel for every time I said “wow they did that the first time I asked”
I would not have very many nickels— Professional Worrier (@pro_worrier_) December 1, 2020
Happy holidays!
Now Thanksgiving is over and I'm happy to announce I've found my Christmas spirit - it's whiskey... no wait, maybe gin.
— Sweet Momissa (@sweetmomissa) November 29, 2020
Solid plan.
What's this, Mom?
I love that my kids are still too dumb, I mean young, to realize their wrapped gifts are right inside their own bedroom closet.
