‘Tis the Season

On the second day of Christmas, “the most wonderful time of the year” gave to us:

Five sleepless days and nights
Four violent stomach viruses
Three cancelled Christmas parties
Two ear infections
And only one family member well enough to go to Christmas Mass (dad)

I’ve never been so thankful that our faith gives us Twelve Days to celebrate Christmas! Is that God’s gift to moms or what? (Well, that and Amoxicillin of course.)
