gifted

‘Tis the season for ribbons and wrappings and candies and treats, which means we’re back for the second annual mutterhood holiday calendar.

Beginning December 1, we invite you to take a minute amid the holiday hustle and bustle and read along as we present 25 days of holiday gifts, but not the kind you can hand off to a hostess or slide under the tree.

Our gifts are a little different, each one an idea rather than something Santa might stuff in a stocking — a thought or reminder of what the season is about, with a little humor thrown in to hopefully keep us smiling through the crowds and the traffic and the midnight sessions on Shutterfly trying to decide just how bad the resolution of that iPhone photo of the kids will be after that stupid yellow warning sign pops up because it’s the only decent picture you have and why didn’t you take a family picture when everyone was home for Thanksgiving, anyway.

But we digress.

Whether you’re home for the holidays or spending time away with loved ones, we hope you enjoy all the wonderful gifts of the season.
