Off to Commit Festive Foolery Christmas shirt

It was early December, that particular pre-Christmas hush settled over everything, the air crackling with a strange energy, like static electricity before a storm. Then, I remember Mom calling, her voice high-pitched and excited, saying she’d found the -perfect- Christmas shirt for me. Apparently, it involved a snowman wearing a comically oversized top hat and a scarf that looked suspiciously like a red and green sausage casing. She’d already bought one for Dad, a matching disaster, so she felt compelled to inflict the festive fashion on me as well. I groaned internally, already picturing the mortifying photo ops.

Christmas had always been a complicated affair in our family. My siblings and I have this deep-seated need to make the holidays feel joyous, a counterpoint to the underlying, slightly melancholic undertones that lingered from the loss of my Grandpa years ago. He always loved the whole shebang, the lights, the carols, the absolute ridiculousness of it all. So, we’d go overboard with the decorations and plan silly games, compensating, perhaps, for the empty space at the table. We’d try really, really hard to inject some laughter into things, which didn’t always work, naturally.

The shirt arrived, stiff and scratchy, smelling vaguely of synthetic fibers and desperation. I reluctantly pulled it on, catching my reflection. There I was, radiating the essence of holiday cheer, a snowman’s grinning face emblazoned across my chest, forever bound to festive oblivion. Dad, meanwhile, was already in his, beaming like a lighthouse, ready to navigate the stormy seas of family gatherings. He actually -liked- the shirt, which, in its own way, was deeply disturbing. It was the epitome of his dad-joke humor.

Later, we descended on my Aunt Carol’s house, a yearly tradition. Her house, overflowing with tinsel and the scent of cinnamon, always felt like stepping into a Hallmark movie. The extended family was present, everyone crammed together, children weaving through the legs of adults, and the cacophony of greetings and happy chatter nearly drowning out the Christmas carols blasting from the stereo. I found myself at the edge of the crowd, feeling a little self-conscious in my snowman attire, secretly hoping nobody would notice.

Then, my eight-year-old cousin, Lily, raced over, her eyes wide with a mixture of excitement and something akin to awe. “You’re wearing the -best- shirt!” she squealed, pointing at the snowman. She grabbed my hand and dragged me off to play a game of charades, involving copious amounts of silly faces and flailing arms. Her uninhibited enthusiasm was infectious. Suddenly, the shirt didn’t feel so bad. Maybe it wasn’t about avoiding embarrassment or trying to force joy, maybe it was about embracing the chaos, the awkwardness, the sheer, unapologetic silliness of the season.
