The doorbell chimed, a cheery prelude to the annual Christmas chaos. Last year, I swear, my aunt Carol’s inflatable snowman deflated into a mournful heap halfway through Christmas dinner, leaving us all giggling and feeling a bit sorry for it. This year, though, the anticipation was building in my chest, a weird blend of excitement and a creeping sense of, well, -too much-. My phone was buzzing with notifications – a text from my sister about coordinating dessert, an email from the office with another festive project, and a barrage of Instagram stories showcasing perfectly decorated trees and impossibly delicious-looking gingerbread houses. It was all a bit…much.

My own apartment was already sporting a haphazard collection of decorations. A string of fairy lights I’d wrestled with for an hour, a slightly lopsided Christmas tree (I swear it leaned more this year), and a collection of novelty ornaments collected over the years. I even started to decorate the fireplace with those hideous knitted stockings – the one with the reindeer that looked perpetually startled, always made me chuckle. But looking at it now, I was starting to feel a bit overwhelmed – the constant visual barrage, the endless to-do lists, the expectation to be relentlessly joyful, it was all getting to me.

I remember last December, during a particularly fraught exchange with my cousin about some trivial argument, when I found myself wishing everyone could just… chill. The pressure to participate in every holiday tradition, to buy the perfect gifts, to have a perfectly curated Christmas – it felt suffocating. And then there were the songs; the jingle bells, the carols, played on repeat everywhere I went. I loved Christmas, of course I did, but sometimes the sheer volume of it all made me want to hide under the covers.

It was in this context that I found myself eyeing that Christmas shirt I’d impulsively bought online. You know, the one with the… well, the Overstimulated But Festive Possum Christmas Shirt. The image, a possum – bright-eyed and clearly vibrating with nervous energy – surrounded by Christmas lights, really resonated with me. I mean, here was a creature embodying the exact emotions I was experiencing: simultaneously terrified and thrilled by the season’s overwhelming abundance. It was hilarious, relatable, and honestly, a perfect representation of my current state of mind.

Putting the shirt on was the first step towards a new level of self-acceptance. It felt oddly liberating to wear something that acknowledged the chaos rather than trying to pretend everything was idyllic. Maybe I could embrace the frenzy, I thought, and maybe it would somehow make it better. Perhaps I could laugh at the mess, enjoy the moments of genuine connection, and allow myself to feel all the things – even the overstimulation. I guess the best way to explain it is that the possum shirt gave me permission. Permission to not be perfect, to be a little bit frazzled, to occasionally hide from the music, and to simply -be- during the holiday. It’s a reminder that it’s okay to feel overwhelmed, that the real joy isn’t in some meticulously arranged, Instagram-worthy Christmas, but in the imperfect, slightly chaotic, and wonderfully messy moments shared with the people you love. So, bring on the carols, bring on the family, bring on the sugar, and let the possum be my spirit animal this year.
