As a divorced mom, I had to buy myself gifts and wrap them to "open" on Christmas morning, because when my son was in elementary school he would get upset if I didn't have anything to open, especially from Santa. I still remember him saying one Christmas, "but you've been so GOOD, Mommy!" LOL At least I got stuff I knew I'd like! ;)

This skit changed Christmas in our house. The year it aired my husband made sure I didn’t get a robe and since this aired (okay, two Christmases have gone by) it’s a joy to see boxes under the tree and a full stocking- now in our house when I’m forgotten my husband says, “you got a robe” and adjusts the situation. Never thought a skit could change my life.

Thank you for saying this. You have NO idea what it means to moms like me. I'm an only parent of 2 & this video is 100% accurate for me, minus the dad, bc he passed away on Christmas Day of 2011. It's always hard this time of year & I go all out for my kids, but I literally get one gift every year that's from my mom. I've never told anyone how much it hurts, bc I try to make sure my kids feel loved & get everything they've asked for. My one gift REALLY IS a robe that I'll never wear, bc it's too hot in Texas. It really is the thought that counts for me. I don't know how I'd feel without my mom. I've thought about getting myself a gift, but it feels too selfish. THIS is my Christmas gift, bc it feels great to feel some recognition. Thank YOU. ♥️

[@SCBJQ]

Too real. When I was a young child, my Mom did all the Christmas shopping. She'd get my sisters and I and our father all kinds of amazing presents. My father would have one present under the tree for her, no stocking. One year it was an ugly, short yellow robe that she wore for years, even though she hated it, because she didn't want to hurt his feelings. Most years he just gave her a small amount of cash to pick out her own present. As soon as I had a job, I made sure she always had a packed stocking and dozens of presents. I've been doing that for over 40 years now.

@@rosesweetcharlotte Thank you, Carly. 🥺♥️ I've thought about it before, but it feels so selfish. TBH, my mom has to force me into getting my annual haircut, bc I feel selfish even doing that & I'm a hairstylist. Crazy, I know. It's just that after my kids' father died on Christmas Day of 2011, EVERYTHING I did was about devoting my all to my kids so they didn't feel the same pain & loss that I do. It changed me. This year is different, bc of the pandemic. I've been unable to work due to my Lupus (an autoimmune disease) & Ehlers Danlos Syndrome making me extremely high-risk. I've been stuck quarantined this entire time & it's been a HARD hit financially. Fortunately, my kids admitted how spoiled they are & understand why I can't do the usual. I might wait until January to buy myself something, but your advice has DEFINITELY got me considering it. Even if it's just a new bra, bc Lord knows I need one! 🙈 I'm so sorry for this lengthy response. I'm sure you weren't expecting a novel. LOL! I just appreciate your kindness. I guess it's obvious that I don't have anyone to talk to about this. Thank YOU for reading & understanding, if you've gotten this far. Have a lovely Christmas & holiday season.
