Let me ask you: do you want to create a memory that’s deliberately calm? Or are you fine sprinting through December like a marathoner wearing reindeer antlers?
If you chose the first one—then yes. Get a box.
It doesn’t have to be fancy. A plastic bin from Target works. A gift bag. A pillowcase, even. (Your call.)
The magic isn’t in the container. It’s in the moment when everyone stops and says, “Oh, this is nice.”
So go ahead. Grab a box. Throw in a pair of pajamas. Pour some cocoa. And enjoy the waiting—because sometimes the waiting is the best part.
And hey, if all else fails? Just eat the cocoa bomb yourself. No judgment. It’s your Christmas Eve too.
