A Santa Sack Full of Parenting Memes for Moms and Dads Riding Out the Last Week of Winter Break

Welcome, moms and dads of the internet. Another Christmas has come and gone, but the holidays are not yet over. We are in the strange limbo between Xmas and New Year's, wherein in time does not exist and the exact date, day of the week, and time of day are mere suggestions that ultimately meld together in a sugar cookie-fueled jumble. The kids are still hyped about their new toys, likely busy building Legos or testing out the controls on their newest console. Parents can take it easy and sip on some eggnog to help get them through all of the family drama that the holidays seem to inevitably bring. However, well-seasoned parents know that this is just the calm before the storm. Post-New Year's kids will be much more difficult to handle as the novelty of their gifts wears off and they start getting antsy about going back to school or day care. Enjoy the break while it lasts by scrolling these thrse relatable parenting memes!
