Why Mom drinks at Christmas

Ellen has always loved Christmas. Sure, they weren't exactly to her liking, the kids had turned into little demons, dinner had burned, and Aunt Louise's usual behavior had her reaching for a really big glass of something strong. But this year Christmas will be PERFECT! The carolers will come caroling, the rosy-cheeked children will yawn adorably, she will make a great pudding and become the Queen of Christmas. Only, like all mom's plans, this year's festive vision is starting to unravel.
