In a recent episode of Saturday Night Live, former cast member Emma Harris returned to bring holiday cheer with her comedic charm. The highlight of the night was a skit that perfectly captured the essence of Christmas morning from a mom’s perspective, leaving many mothers nodding in relatable despair.
In the sketch, Harris’s character wakes up on Christmas morning to a mountain of gifts surrounding her family. Her son, portrayed by Max Johnson, receives a slew of exciting presents, including a Nerf gun, Hulk hands, a drone, and even a drum set. Meanwhile, her daughter, played by Lily Thompson, unwraps a trendy hat, a brand new phone, a hoverboard, and a classic book. The husband, played by Jack Edwards, is thrilled with his autographed baseball bat, a stylish tie, and a laptop, clearly all gifts that mom likely purchased herself. And what does mom get? A new robe. Ouch.
As the family celebrates with their extravagant gifts, Harris discovers the tag on her present revealed it was a bargain buy—40 percent off. “I got a robe. It’s really nice. Thanks, guys, this is great,” she remarks, her enthusiasm waning as she realizes the harsh reality.
While everyone else basks in their loot, Harris takes a moment to prepare breakfast—still in her robe, of course. “I burned my arm while cooking, but I didn’t even scream because I keep the pain bottled up,” she humorously sings, which resonates with many moms out there.
After breakfast, it’s time for stockings. Unfortunately for Harris, she finds them empty, thanks to her family’s lack of thoughtfulness. But wait—there are more presents under the tree! Oh, those are for the dog, who apparently has been extra good this year (and yes, he also got a robe).
This episode marks Harris’s fourth time hosting SNL, and she expressed her joy at being back, especially during the holiday season. As the skit wraps up, the family takes a cute selfie, but Harris, looking less than glamorous, realizes that Christmas mornings may never truly be what she hoped for.
Here’s to hoping all the moms out there receive more than just a robe this year. But considering it’s 2020, expectations might need to be lowered a bit.
