Don't Knock the Antlers


as published on www.ocregister.com on January 6, 2006

I spent the better part of the holiday season driving around town in a mom-mobile pimped out with reindeer antlers and Rudolph's nose. Yep, that was me – and about 12 others of you who were likewise redirected to the holiday tchotchke page on eBay. Frankly, I didn't think much of our holly jollyness.

It wasn't until I was snubbed by a teenager for my antler antics that I was forced to dig deep and consider both the cause and effect of those wiry gray sparklers sprouting from my crown.

In December, I wanted to catch up with a good friend who is also a mother of four. But the only way two mothers of four can catch up during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season is to hustle and bustle together. So she jumped in my passenger seat and together we delivered cards and bread and got gas. And then a simple "Can we pick up my son from the high school?" took us there.
