But it might be nice to get maybe one or two other things to show your mom that she’s appreciated.Just how unusual has the past season of “ Saturday Night Live” been? For one thing, it opened its final episode without a traditional sketch and had its performers talk, in comedic but personal terms, about what it had been like to put on the show in the middle of a pandemic. If other moms are anything like my mom, they make it hard for you to know what to get for then because they hardly give you anything to go off of #SNLīut speaks for all moms: one gift doesn’t cut There has never been a more accurate skit on #snl than “mom got a robe for Christmas.” GET YOUR MOM MORE THAN ONE GIFT!!! That short about moms on Christmas morning was good. One guy, who goes by on Twitter, quickly came to the defense of robe gift-givers because moms can be a challenge to buy for each Christmas. Hopefully, she got something else to go with it.

On Christmas morning, we get that surge of excitement seeing the smiling faces of our family as they open presents. The next thing we know, there’s paper strewn around the house and calls of “I’m hungry!” We start Christmas breakfast, which might lead right into making Christmas dinner. As much we moms love decking the halls and making the holidays special for the family, let’s be honest: Christmas is not only exhausting for us but can also be a bit of a letdown when others in the family aren’t quite as invested in the process.
