It’s showtime around here. This is that bewitching time of the year when I become a jolly, cranky, festive, crotchety, energized, unhinged woman. The two weeks leading up to the Christmas is when my family gets to endure their mother morphing into one psychotic madwoman.
Here’s how it typically shakes out:
Would you mind making treats for the class holiday party? By the way, they need to be nut, soy, and gluten free with no artificial dyes.
Sure! I’d love to. I’m sure I can figure something out. No problem at all!
ONE WEEK LATER: Stay the hell out of the kitchen! If you ask me for one more thing, I’m driving up to the North Pole and telling Santa how you single handedly sabotaged your own class party!
Mom, what are we going to get our 4 teachers, 6 classroom aides, secretary, bus driver, music teacher, art teacher, gym teacher and crossing guard for Christmas?
Well, Honey, I’d love to still be able to make the mortgage payment this month so we have a nice, warm home to celebrate Christmas in. Why don’t I make homemade treats for everyone? Doesn’t that sound so much nicer than hard, plastic, impersonal gift cards?
THREE DAYS LATER: Stay the hell out of the kitchen! NO! Stop asking! No one’s getting any meals until December 26th. It’s cereal only from here on out.
Mom, are we going to decorate Christmas cookies?
Oh, yes! That sounds like fun. Why don’t you fire up the Christmas music and I’ll whip up some dough?
THREE HOURS LATER: What’s wrong with you people?! Every sprinkle that drops on the ground means one less Christmas present under the tree. Just get the hell out of the kitchen!
Undeniably, I know it doesn’t have to be this way. I could keep my sanity in check by buying cookies, gift cards, and looking the other way when my kids lack basic fine motor skills.
Or, maybe they could all just stay the hell out of the kitchen.
