17. And this mom, who couldn't find her Christmas tree stand, so she came up with a hilariously non-traditional backup plan:
The kids & I decided to decorate the #ChristmasTree today. They were so excited but the tree stand was nowhere to be found. I said we could wait until tomorrow, but they insisted I improvise. I give you the only cardboard box I had that would hold the tree up 😂 #CoronaChristmas
