Parents are in hyper-speed mode right now and we are here cheering you on with the funniest parenting memes we can find! From Thanksgiving to New Years eve, moms and dads are trying to make it the most magical and whimsical time of year for their kiddos. Why? Probably because it gets so cold in December and there's nothing else to do. So we have the holidays and everyone has a nice and wholesome fun time. But parents are the ones who make it extra sweet and happy for their kids. Sure, Santa might have been invented to keep naughty kids inline. However, he is so much more than that! He also represents kindness and love. So parents go with him to make the holiday season even more whimsical, while helping them out as well. It's quite the symbiotic relationship.

So, take a breather parents! You are doing great, but you need a break every now and then. Let these relevant parenting memes give you some holiday LOLs and recharge you for the next situation you create for the elf on a shelf. You'll say Santa is checking his list twice, but it's actually you checking your holiday shopping list 12 times. You're doing great, mom and dad!
