"the most wonderful time of the year" news and stories

Remember that commercial for Staples, the one where the parents are taking their kids shopping for school supplies and they're smiling and dancing to "The Most Wonderful Time of The Year?"

It's that time of year.

I have a good friend who has a young boy, and she's really happy he's back in school. This has nothing to do with a parent not loving their kids, it's just that when a child (baby, tween, or teen) is home, I'm sure it can just completely rule your life and not give you any breathing room (I'm not a parent, but I can imagine). I picture balloons falling from the ceiling and the liquor cabinet unlocked the moment the kids are on the bus.

So, parents, let's drink and celebrate!
