I spent 11 Christmas Eves alone as a single mom. Well, not alone every year. But, I did the Lion’s share of the shopping and preparing and then setting up gifts from Santa…don’t you just hate “some assembly required?”
You’ve maxed out your credit cards, put up the tree, wrapped gifts and baked cookies, which, by the way, will settle nicely on your hips and thighs. And I promise that at midnight Christmas Eve you’ll remember something you need from the grocery store.
But it’s the most wonderful time of the year! Except for how it’s totally not when you’re a single mom on Christmas Eve. Whether you’re a Grinch or a Christmas-lover, some things about Christmas are really, really terrible, and all the Santa hats and candy cane ornaments in the world can’t cover that up.
With that in mind, we’ve put together this article in the hope that you’ll at least get a laugh or two while doing your Christmas Eve single mom duty.
Have a Holly Jolly Christmas!
