Crabgrass by Tauhid Bondia for December 25, 2021

When I was a kid one Christmas morning, I noticed my mother hadn’t received the gift I had wrapped and placed under the tree for her. I looked around and asked, “Is that ALL of the gifts?” My parents didn’t understand why I was asking, so they yelled at me for being greedy.

I think I found her gift under the tree and gave it to her, but what I really remember is the surprising hurt in their voices at the thought that I might have been dissatisfied with what they’d bought me for Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

“Supply chain problems, Miles. Be patient. This may take a few months, to years, to resolve…”

Looks like they forgot…..

What’s the bet that Kevin gets one…?

Santa brought almost every gift on your list, Miles. There’s no need to complain about the one that he missed.

Kid, Santa can be real unreliable at times…

Merry christmasss

Of course, he did. I think.

…and here I thought Miles was just yanking Kevin’s chain. Merry Christmas all.

The one and only time I ever saw a gift before it was wrapped, was when I found an aqua leather jacket in a closet while searching for something else. I knew it was for me. I knew it. I tore through several wonderful gifts seeing only that it had to be in the last box … and my sister lifted it out – it had always been hers… never mine. But then, I’ve spent years appreciating what “is” as it comes to me – and never looking in closets before Christmas!

Kev gets his and shares it with Miles so Kev becomes a real life Santa. Love this strip.

MerryChristmas!!
