Mum shares VERY long Christmas plan for her family, and people are tired just looking at it
A MUM has left people feeling pretty tired after her son shared the incredibly long Christmas itinerary she made.
Her annual ‘home for the holiday’s’ plan is so detailed that it includes everything the family will do and eat for the festive period.
According to her son, Khalid El Khatib, from Dubuque, Iowa, his mum, Janet, emails the hefty list to her kids every year.
He shared a part of the email on twitter and it quickly went viral as people couldn’t believe the run-down.
Khalid said: “My mom’s annual “home for the holidays” email to me and my siblings just dropped.
“An incredibly thorough, detail-rich look ahead at how it’s possible for me to gain 15 lbs in one week.”
Although for most of us Christmas is a time to put out feet up and take a well deserved break, Khalid and his two sisters will be lucky to get a much time to relax.
The mum meticulously laid out her plans for the entire family, starting on Sunday: “Arrivals. Rest and happy. Joe’s Pizza for dinner.
“There will be puffed popcorn, Chex mix, and various candies available for grazing throughout the day,” she added.
The following day will be a “work day for all,” so the day’s agenda wasn’t that big, but she’d still planned a dinner of “chili and fresh bread.”
Janet’s jam-packet itinerary continued on Tuesday with a “summer burger night” including burgers, friends, mac and cheese, salad and even ice-cream from a specific shop.
The busy mum gave her kids a few options for Wednesday.
She wrote in the email: “Wednesday, travel to Galena in the afternoon, Galena Brewery for late lunch? Or Bread and Vine? Or dinner out? Try Pepper Sprout? Or Morocco? Or cocktails at the Julien, great Old Fashions?
“Otherwise, dinner at home: grilled bourbon glazed pork tenderloin with accompaniments.”
Janet also made sure everyone would bring appropriate clothing for the events she had planned on Thursday.
And for Friday she set aside time for a manicure with her daughters while the boys babysit, followed my more delicious food on Christmas eve.
The finally, for the big day the mum-of-three planned out the entire Christmas menu, starting with a breakfast of egg bake, French toast, bacon, hash browns, fruit, mimosas, and coffee.
An equally large dinner was also planned, including beef tenderloin, potatoes, mushroom cheese bread, and roasted vegetables and cheesecake for dessert.
Khalid confessed Christmas day is usually “a day in which I always slip into a food coma and then my mom yells at me for falling asleep and wasting Christmas.”
Fellow twitter users were impressed by the mum’s organisation skills, but others felt tired just looked at the email.
One wrote: “Just sent this to my mom and told her she needs to get on this level.”
A second said: “My family can only get our act together for exactly one meal a day and possibly one group activity outside the house. All else is chaos.”
Meanwhile, others begged Khalid’s mum to adopt them so they could join in with the activities and feasts.
