Every mom is busy year round, but somehow the holidays are always the busiest time of year. And how often does mom get asked what she wants for Christmas? Here’s a list that applies to moms everywhere,
- A house that stays clean for more than 3 hours
- A holiday season without cold, flu, and other germs
- Peace on Earth, or at least peace between siblings
- To not have to cook Christmas dinner
- Fewer holiday cookies (or expandable pants)
- Less homework
- Wine
- A break from the mortgage
- My pre-baby boobs back
- My-pre-baby ass back
- Pre-wrapped Christmas gifts
- A Santa that actually exists
- A REAL Elf on the Shelf
- Or the Elf to “magically” meet its demise
- Wine
- A car that cleans itself
- 5 minutes of peace and quiet
- Kids that are behaving during that 5 minutes
- To be able to pee in peace
- An extra hour of sleep
- Wine
- Free babysitting
- A gym membership that gets you a workout without actually going to the gym
- Adam Levine or Chris Pratt wrapped (or unwrapped) under the tree
- Kids that go to bed on time
- Wine
- A laundry fairy
- A dishwashing fairy
- A self-cleaning house
- Self-changing diapers
- Wine
