Christmas is hard! Being a single dad of 4 boys isn’t a walk in the park. The holidays make it that much tougher. The stress of shopping for thoughtful gifts, 10,20,30x over for each boy. The cost of living being ridiculous and having a single person income. Trying to be fair with gifts. Hiding gifts. Staying up all night shopping, putting things together, making lists, because it’s the only time you have to get things done without a kid on your back. Short tempers everywhere you go. Dont get me started on trying to figure out stocking stuffers. And so on and so on. All the while still keeping up with all the other responsibilities that fall on you.
Just want to go to my room, lock the door and climb in bed somedays. Just ignore all my lifes responsibilities. Pretend I never had kids for just a moment. But then I remember why I do it all.
1) My kids make my life amazing, they are my purpose. 2) To make christmas forever suck at their mom’s house by always outdoing her 😂
3) I’m a man. Men just do what needs to be done.
Really I do it because I love to see the excitement and joy on their faces. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my sons happy. It’s 3 in the Morning, I just got done building everything and making sure everything was perfect for when they wake up and Im so excited to see the reactions.
24th is my Christmas this year. Hope it’s one they remember forever. Merry Christmas.
