Christmas Morning Is Sacred… Which Is Exactly Why This Works
Christmas morning has been running the same program for hundreds of years. Gifts. Coffee. Sugar overload. Someone pretending to like a sweater. Everyone collectively slowing down.
And that’s the opening.
Because while everyone else is settled in for a long holiday sit, you’re staring out the window at fresh snow thinking, I could absolutely disappear right now.
Historically speaking? People have always done shady little winter missions. You’re not breaking tradition—you’re continuing it.
Sneaking Off Is Basically Ancient Behavior
Early winter cultures didn’t sit still on holidays. They moved. They skied. They wandered around outside in the cold doing “important things.”
So when you say you’re “checking something real quick,” you’re channeling your ancestors. Probably Vikings. Definitely chill ones.
The Soft Launch (Critical Step)
You never announce you’re going skiing. That’s rookie behavior. You plant the seed early:
“Wow, it’s quiet today.”
“Snow looks nice.”
“I won’t be long.”
You’re conditioning the room. Lowering suspicion. Creating calm.
Then—when everyone’s distracted by wrapping paper or a toy meltdown—you slide out like a cat that knows it’s not supposed to be outside.
Elite-Level Excuses (Use Sparingly)
These are believable. These are dangerous. Use wisely.
- “I’m just gonna run a quick errand.”
- “I need to move the car so it doesn’t get blocked in.”
- “I need some air before food round two.”
- “I’ll be back before anyone even notices.”
You don’t overexplain. Overexplaining gets you caught.
The Perfect Crime: Christmas Morning Skiing
Resorts are quiet. Lifts are empty. The snow is untouched. Everyone else is still horizontal.
You get smooth turns, silent runs, and that slightly guilty thrill that makes everything feel faster. It’s not just skiing—it’s forbidden skiing.
Which is the best kind.
Cover Your Tracks on the Way Back
This part matters.
You return calm. Peaceful. Helpful.
You offer to clean up. You don’t talk about how good it was. You casually say something like, “Wow, that cold woke me up.”
No photos. No stories. No evidence.
Legends don’t get caught.
Final Take
Christmas is about joy, balance, and doing what makes you happy—as long as you don’t blow up the whole operation.
So yes, enjoy the gifts. Eat the food. Be present.
But if the snow is calling and the timing is right?
Disappear responsibly.
Stay sneaky. Stay smooth. And for the love of winter—be back before brunch.
