It’s Christmas Morning for Everyone But Mom on SNL

Moms across the country were finally given the recognition that they deserve in “Christmas Morning,” a sketch from last night’s Saturday Night Live that implicates us all. Kristen Wiig’s mom character wakes up on Christmas morning to a house full of gifts for … everyone but her. Her children, played by Kyle Mooney and Chloe Fineman, get a long list of toys and electronics, while her husband (Beck Bennett) gets a signed baseball bat, a tie, and a laptop. Mom, meanwhile, gets a discounted robe. Obviously the family dog (played by Chloe Fineman’s real dog), gets multiple gifts, including a li’l dog robe. The best Mom can do is day-drink red wine and try not to squint in the family photo. “Your mom does everything for your family. This year, get her more than one present,” a very wise Kenan Thompson voiceover reminds us at the end of the sketch. “Moms like stuff too.”
