Thank you so much for this! It is so refreshing to read something that doesn't portray Christmas as a Norman Rockwell painting.
Just last week, my sister wrote a short Christmas memory essay for a local publication. It was so poignant, so heartwarming, so effing untrue. I have written my rebuttal, lol, and am trying to decide whether to post it on my Substack or elsewhere.
We all have Christmas memories, but can we please refrain from depicting them as unfailingly idyllic? I'm glad you refrained from doing so.

I vote for posting on substack! 😉
