The Kids Are In Charge Of Christmas This Year, Because I'm Totally Done

Yes, it's here, faster than a lot of us care to admit: the holiday season. And this year, Molly Wadzeck Kraus is already over it. She writes: "Between two kids with winter birthdays — one sandwiched between Halloween and Thanksgiving and one just days before Christmas — I'm complete dust by the time New Year's Eve rolls around, with only enough energy and sanity left to dispense noise makers and party hats and fall asleep on the couch at 8 p.m. No matter how much I try to delegate, I'm still the one deciding what needs delegating, explaining it, following up, and filling in the gaps when something inevitably goes awry. This year, I'm throwing in the (decorative) towel. I'm stepping back. The kids are in charge of Christmas now."

She's not letting them take over everything, but just enough to make it all more manageable for her. Hear her out.
