Defeated Mom Gives Peek Into How It’s Going “One Day Into Christmas Break”

Image shows a mom during Christmas break wondering why she ever thought having kids was a good idea.

Kids get a break from school over the holidays. Much to the dismay of many parents, the two-week break from school is often full of mayhem and mischief. For mom Alisha Gambrell, one day into Christmas break has already stressed her beyond her limits. From its appearance, the singing began before she finished her morning coffee.

For teachers, it is an entirely different story. They are celebrating having made it this far into the school year.

It isn’t just the young kids that invade their parent’s spaces. Sometimes, it’s the college daughter coming home with a ton of laundry and just as much drama.

The soundtrack of the season is children singing, “Santa Claus is coming up your butt…” We have no clue where the original of this annoying background track comes from. “Butt” has always been one of those words that kids love and parents hate. Maybe just roll with it? As annoying as it may be for adults, the kids enjoy using the taboo word. It’s pretty innocent when you think of what they could be singing.

If you’re a parent, you understand the frustration of a mom being done with Christmas break on the first day. There is no such thing as a midday nap. The screaming, crying, and fighting never seem to stop. And, of course, the incessant singing before morning coffee.

No children were harmed while making these video clips. We cannot make the same claim for the parents. Hopefully, they have an adequate supply of Tylenol and maybe some earplugs available. If you’re a mom or dad who has lived through a Christmas break, we know you understand!

Please share the pain of the parents who are currently suffering.
