This is not the norm. Usually it's just a gong show. And I'm a stress bag. Is everything okay? I got to cook a turkey tomorrow. Is that out? He looked at me and said, you are doing so good. I said, I know. This is great. So it's getting late. It's about 10-ish. And I said, let's get everything organized for under the tree. So that's done. And then we can just relax for an hour before we go to bed.

He said, all right, I'm going downstairs and getting everything organized. So I'm looking out the window and life is perfect and I'm just so happy with my family. I could hear him open up the crawl space. Then I heard him close the crawl space. Then he opened the other crawl space.

And when he opened the second crawl space and closed it and he went over to the third one, I just kind of like perked up. Yeah, yeah. And he called out, he said, Trace, where are the gifts? Yeah. And I was like, they're in the same place they always are. And I started to go downstairs.

And at that point, tent is thrown out, Coleman stoves, every piece of hockey equipment Daniel owned, every old toy that the kids had from growing up that you just throw in the back of that. Things are going everywhere. And I'm like, what the actual fuck? is going on here. Yeah. I said, it's right there. I know no one opens this door. The kids don't look there because they're terrified of it.

He's in the other crawl space. Then he's out in the garage and the garage door is opening and closing. We're not giving in to the panic, but it's just on the surface. And we start to go back to the night that I did all the gifts. And we realized when I threw them down over the stairs, the next day was garbage day. Oh.

So now it is 11 p.m. on Christmas Eve. And I'm just like, oh, yeah, what's open? What's open? What are we going to do? What are we going to do? And at that point, he actually started to cry. And I was like, oh, no, no, no. He was like, I threw the mountain. I said, well, I threw the down over the stairs.

Yeah. Oh, my God. Listen, people have really bad shit going on in their lives. I'm going to tell you, this was the worst feeling I had in my life up to that point. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got a bit of a hangover starting on top of it. I got a headache. I'm crying. Sean's freaking out. We're just like, we are the worst parents. And then Abby wakes up and goes, what's going on?
