-
Wrapping strewn on the floor; mom not caring … check.
-
Stockings no longer hung by the chimney with care (instead, strewn on the ground with the wrapping) … check.
-
Crumbs from cookies, eaten for breakfast; mom not caring … check.
-
Evidence of candy, also eaten for breakfast; mom not caring … check.
-
Children looking wonderfully satiated (might be a candy coma) … check.
-
Husband giddily playing with some sort of techno-gizmo … check.
-
Lights still lit on the tree; will remain lit until well after New Year’s; mom so thrilled with lights she doesn’t care that it could very well stay up until close to Super Bowl… check.
-
Teenagers still asking if we can have a “family sleepover” and watch movies all night … check.
-
All kinds of goodies not normally eaten at this time of year (some not even consumed yet – might even make it to the freezer) … check.
- Three happy kids, one happy husband, very happy mom … check.
I have to say that is one fine checklist. Makes one feel all cozy inside, especially the kids wanting to hang out with the parents.
Great family!
