Arguing with my husband over whose turn it is to move the Elf is what this season is really about.

I laid under the Christmas tree to remind my family that my presence > presents, but everyone started crying.

Have kids so that instead of real gifts you can give friends and family novelty photo items with pictures of your children they saw on social media 6 months ago.

Wife: It turns out the Christmas lights display at the botanic garden is really expensive. Do you still want to go?
Me: Um, I didn't want to go when I thought it was free, so… ???

Let’s get married and have kids so instead of enjoying a glass of wine and a movie you can watch Peppa’s Christmas for the 86th time while I go outside and figure out why the giant inflatable Santa isn’t blowing up.

Child: The Shelf Elf was in my room this morning!
Me: Uh-oh.
Child: Why uh-oh?
Me: They usually only get close to people when they're ready to feed.
Child: MAKE IT LEAVE MAKE IT LEAVE

I was trying to yell at one of my kids but I forgot her name. I actually forgot all of my kids names, so I just started yelling reindeer names until she looked at me and I told her to stop rolling her grapes down the slide.

I’m at the point in my Christmas shopping where if my kids change their lists again, they’re just going to get a bunch of Omaha Steaks
