BAH HUMBUG
I'm The Grinch Mom. Come At Me.
 
Today is an exciting day, and also a slightly terrifying one: Scary Mommy is launching its first-ever annual Very Scary Holiday issue. Yes, it’s already that time of year. And even if you love the holidays and can’t wait to decorate your house in North Pole/Vegas vibes, they’re a truckload of work for moms. We’re here to help… even if it’s just with a quick laugh. 

First up: how many of you are feeling a little…. Grinchy? CJ Kelsey is. “Every year the holidays roll around, and there is one source of tension between my husband and me. Our typically harmonious marriage becomes ever so slightly on edge each wintry season because of one issue, and that issue is presents.” Can you relate? Are you the over-the-top present giver, or the one who issues the reminders about playroom space? I know it seems early to be talking about gifts, but I know my kid already has her list started. 

Let the reindeer games commence, folks, and may the odds be ever in your favor! 

Kelly Faircloth, Executive Editor

Gift-Giving Made Easy For Overworked Moms Everywhere
 
Do you ever wonder if whoever created the fall holiday calendar was trolling us? They were like: “Hmmm, let’s have school start, then immediately fill every store with Halloween candy that tired parents can stress-eat while buying costumes and making Thanksgiving travel plans, and then let’s have them wake up at the end of November in a tryptophan daze, suddenly realizing that they have to cram holiday shopping into a few short weeks!”

If this sounds anything like your life, consider giving yourself the gift of shopping at Amazon. From home goods, fashion, and beauty to this year’s must-have toys and gadgets, you can find the perfect gift for everyone on your list. Even better: you can enjoy fantastic value with speedy shipping courtesy of Amazon Prime. This one-stop shop for all your holiday gifting needs is every overworked mom’s strongest ally.

We All Have That One Weird Thanksgiving Side Dish We Can’t Live Without
 
“Every family seems to have at least one dish that’s dated, disgusting or just plain weird. Which makes me wonder why we are making these recipes in the first place? Are they so central to our core memories that Thanksgiving feels lost without them? But the bigger question is this: Do we actually like eating them?” Today, our Personal Stories Editor Katy Elliott is taking on things like creamed corn and various Jell-O mold recipes. Give it a read, and we’re curious to hear: what’s YOUR weird food you can’t live without? Or even better: What’s the gross thing you’re making for your spouse under duress? Let us know here: [email protected].
