    While this situation was definitely what I had growing up, it’s not my current situation. My husband and I went Christmas shopping together. He did most of the wrapping. He’s cooking Christmas dinner. We opened Christmas presents this morning and then I got a nap on the couch while he played with the three year old and our dog. We usually do a pretty good job of splitting things around the house - especially since we both work.

    I’m a 66 year old fat man, and I’ve been doing the Christmas decorations and holiday dinner for my family for decades. This year, as a change, I made baby back rips, took two day to do them.

    Although I will admit I took task over when mom died 30 some years about. I will also admit she was better at it. She would start baking cookies right after thanksgiving and would create an astounding array. I have her old cook books, but not her stamina

    Even after all these year, I really miss my mom.
