Christmas Morning
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
Dad and the children turn Christmas morning into an exuberant musical inventory of their new toys and gadgets. Mom keeps returning to her single bathrobe as she cooks breakfast, deals with a kitchen burn and discovers her empty stocking. Even the dog receives a pile of presents. The family’s rush to share a holiday photograph leaves her efforts as overlooked as ever, leading to a reminder to think about what mothers would actually enjoy.

Notes from the archive.
The family dog is Peach, Chloe Fineman’s own pet. In a 2024 PEOPLE interview, Fineman recalled bringing him in after the planned dog handler contracted COVID, and said peanut butter helped prompt his actions on set.
