Husband Single-Handedly Runs Holiday Circus While Wife Observes From Sidelines
KEY POINTS
- •A stay-at-home dad leads holiday decorations and traditions in their Brooklyn apartment with three kids.
- •His wife, originally from Argentina, manages vacation planning, gift buying, and holiday photography.
- •Together, they balance holiday duties so the festivities maintain magic without causing burnout.
In a Brooklyn home that’s seen at least one tiny tree and a first-ever gingerbread house in 2022 (three toddlers highly recommended), a stay-at-home dad with a penchant for ugly sweaters and basement decorations runs full-scale Christmas operations. His wife, from Argentina where Christmas arrives with sunburns not snow boots, relegates herself to food passport and suitcase captain for their three kids aged 7 and twins 5. She’s the budget-conscious shopper buying secondhand gifts while capturing family Kodak moments, and he’s the guy diving into Maine’s freeze to orchestrate a tree-lighting that sounds like punishment, not fun. Meanwhile, mom friends lament holiday burnout; our couple’s secret? He’s the elf, she’s the expedition planner, and together they conquer festive madness without a single meltdown quote from Business Insider.
