Heres why moms are quietly quitting Christmas

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year… unless you have somebody in your life who calls you “mom.”Even more so if you hear that word 50 thousand times by 10 am.In the wise words of the Grinch: “This whole Christmas season is stupid, stupid, stupid.”If mothers had a Spotify Wrapped, it would be 6 7, “Moooom, watch this!” and lunch boxes on constant shuffle and repeat.But in the last month of the year, Elf on the Shelf, turkey cooking timings, and toddler-proofing the Christmas tree get added to the playlist.Which is exactly why moms are collectively pressing pause this year.Morning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.
