The 12 days of a mom's Christmas

It's the most wonderful time of the year...or so they tell me. Christmas is my favorite season. I love the lights, sounds and smells of the holiday season. I feel people are nice and smile more than usual and this makes my heart happy. BUT Christmas also brings about its challenges for moms, who usually are the ones that make Christmas actually happen.

Here is my life during the holiday season. I am not complaining nor trying to martyr myself cause the good Lord knows I love it, but please just be a little kinder and gentler to moms this season because this is really what we go through!

On the 1st day of Christmas my husband said to me, "here's the card don't be so spending happy!"
On the 2nd day of Christmas I started shopping, 2 Frozen watches and don't be so spending happy!
On the 3rd day of Christmas we got a Christmas tree, 2 Frozen watches and don't be so spending happy!
On the 4th day of Christmas I swept up pine needles from the tree, 2 Frozen watches and don't be so spending happy!
On the 5th day of Christmas I started watching TV, Christmas vacation and now a musical where Elf sings, I swept up pine needles from the tree, 2 Frozen watches and don't be so spending happy!
On the 6th day of Christmas I did more shopping- more Frozen crap, Christmas vacation and now a musical where Elf sings, I swept up pine needles from the tree, 2 Frozen watches and don't be so spending happy!
On the 7th day of Christmas I sent out Christmas cards, more Frozen crap, Christmas vacation and now a musical where Elf sings, I swept up pine needles from the tree, 2 Frozen watches and don't be so spending happy!
On the 8th day of Christmas we put up Christmas lights, "I don't think we have enough," I sent out Christmas cards, more Frozen crap, Christmas vacation and now a musical where Elf sings, I swept up pine needles from the tree, 2 Frozen watches and don't be so spending happy!
On the 9th day of Christmas I need to start planning the dinner, maybe just chili this year (Hey, it did win an award), we put up Christmas lights, "I don't think we have enough," I sent out Christmas cards, more Frozen crap, Christmas vacation and now a musical where Elf sings, I swept up pine needles from the tree, 2 Frozen watches and don't be so spending happy!
On the 10th day of Christmas I started wrapping all the gifts, how did it cost so much?, I need to start planning the dinner, maybe just chili this year (Hey, it did win an award), we put up Christmas lights, "I don't think we have enough," I sent out Christmas cards, more Frozen crap, Christmas vacation and now a musical where Elf sings, I swept up pine needles from the tree, 2 Frozen watches and don't be so spending happy!
On the 11th day of Christmas when's it going to be January? I started wrapping all the gifts, how did it cost so much?, I need to start planning the dinner, maybe just chili this year (Hey, it did win an award), we put up Christmas lights, "I don't think we have enough," I sent out Christmas cards, more Frozen crap, Christmas vacation and now a musical where Elf sings, I swept up pine needles from the tree, 2 Frozen watches and don't be so spending happy!
On the 12th day of Christmas I relaxed..just kidding, I cleaned out my closet, when's it going to be January? I started wrapping all the gifts, how did it cost so much?, I need to start planning the dinner, maybe just chili this year (Hey, it did win an award), we put up Christmas lights, "I don't think we have enough," I sent out Christmas cards, more Frozen crap, Christmas vacation and now a musical where Elf sings, I swept up pine needles from the tree, 2 Frozen watches and don't be so spending happeeeeeeee!
