#my brother immediately went ‘oh you brought’ and mimed rolling a joint

the absolute best thing I did for the holidays this year was steal that joke dessert idea of making white chocolate covered pretzels look like cigarettes and surreptitiously serve them at the full family party

As soon as my brother saw them he began handing them out to the kids. I watched my sister-in-law teach her teenaged daughter how to correctly hold a joint using the pretzel. I watched as my teenaged nieces all started snapping selfies of themselves fake smoking the pretzel, then saw that behind them my elderly uncle and aunts were all doing the exact same thing with their own pretzels.

For one beautiful moment, every generation of my family was briefly united in pure joy. Peace on earth, and goodwill for all mankind was had in this house on this day 🎄
