Oh. What. Fun.

Everyone is home for the holidays, clamoring for all the Christmas cheer only their mother can whip up. They can already smell the chestnuts roasting—or is that Mom’s hair on fire? From a New York Times bestselling author comes a laugh-out-loud short story for any mom who’d rather wreck the halls.

Now a major motion picture from Amazon MGM Studios.

Tyler, Channing, and Sammy Clauster have descended on their childhood home, with significant others and four-year-old twins in tow, for another good old-fashioned Christmas. Overwhelming holiday magic, as always, comes courtesy of their mom, Claire. They know she’s thrilled to cook, wrap gifts, decorate, accommodate, play games, overprepare every Christmas Eve Eve Eve tradition, and still let Dad be known as the Fun One. It’s her thing, right? Maybe the family should have paid closer attention. Because this year, something is a little off-key—and it’s not just the carols.

Where are the cookies for Mrs Claus?!

For Every-Mom, the keepers of tradition, and the clueless families they love.Lee God bless us everyone!

Relatable

This is definitely relatable for mothers everywhere.

To have everything you do overlooked by your family, to be forgotten, ignored, and just taken advantage of is horrible. This wraps up so many woman’s feeling in one short story.

That was fun

For most of the book the mother reminded me of my own mother, which was fun, until we got to the resolution which was so not my mother. Also our Mom raised more thoughtful kids, but, it was a cute story and a nice bridge-read across New Year's Eve.

Mothers everywhere can identify

OMG! Spot on concept. My only disappointment was that the kids weren’t sufficiently humbled. There should be an Easter follow up story in which the TV host features the mom. I wanted to throttle the kid who nixed the pizza

a bit confusing

liked the premise of the story but I think it was too short to really explain what was happening.
