Your Cart is Empty
The holiday season is upon us and with it comes the joys and splendor of this magical time of year. One of my favorite holiday activities is getting ready for our annual family Christmas photo card. Our photo is always planned with adorable coordinating outfits, all customized to the kids’ personal style, with the children sitting, lined up at my front door smiling like angels from heaven.
That is total BS.
No matter how much time I put into figuring out our holiday card outfits, someone is always unhappy and complaining, and the photo shoot ends with me dropping multiple f-bombs through the gritted teeth of my forced smile.
I mean let’s face it, on a regular day I’m lucky if my kindergartner puts on new underwear, or if my 8-year-old remembers to brush her teeth. And to be honest… most days I’m not lucky. Our household is a crazy shit show and the holiday season exponentiates this to epic proportions.
