Oy Vey and Ho Ho Ho: What If Santa Had ADHD?

3. Laugh Through the Chaos

ADHD Santa is a walking comedy routine, but that’s his charm! When life gets messy, find the humor in it. After all, a good laugh burns as many calories as all those Christmas cookies you just ate. (Okay, maybe not all of them.)
