In our house, gifts in stockings are proof that Santa exists. It’s not a gift from parents, or from partners. “Look at that, kids, Santa gave me my favorite lip balm and candy! How lucky that we ALL got something!”

Now gift-gifts, that’s a different thing entirely.

I see this every day in the school pickup/drop-off line. People disregard all social norms, and they’re teaching their kids to be the same.

Do you live in a Hallmark movie?

Wow! I should just get some as gifts, right? RIGHT?

Weird thing for a single mom to say.
