You tried your best, but everything went wrong. The Christmas tree fell while you were playing Santa and you almost accidentally set the stockings on fire. Oh, and nobody better expect you to be showered and dressed waiting for the kids on the couch. You're tired, and you don't really care that it shows.

You have a garbage bag ready and waiting for when the kids open their presents. Pieces of wrapping paper don't even hit the floor because you've got great control on the Christmas morning mess.
