A Christmas Morning to Remember

Paul woke up on Christmas morning feeling foggy. On the nightstand sat a glass of water, aspirin, and a sweet note from

his wife, promising a warm breakfast. The room was clean, his clothes folded—unusual considering he couldn’t remember the night before.

Curious, he asked his son what had happened. His son laughed and said Paul had come home “extra festive,” stumbled

into the door, and knocked over the coffee table. Paul was confused—everything looked too perfect for such a chaotic entrance.

So why wasn’t his wife angry? His son explained, still smiling, “Because when she tried to help you,

you pushed her away and shouted, ‘Leave me alone! I’m married!’”

Despite the hangover, Paul had unknowingly passed a test of loyalty—with flair. What could’ve been a disaster turned into a family joke.

That Christmas began with a headache but came wrapped in humor, grace, and love. Sometimes, it’s the chaotic, unexpected moments

that become the most cherished family memories—especially when they come with forgiveness, a hot meal, and just the right amount of aspirin.
