They seriously couldn't get ONE ROOM of their house cleaned and toy free for CHRISTMAS, when they had company over? That's not child/toddler clutter. That's too much CRAP. If you can't pick up at the end of the day and have your house clean and tidy, you have too much crap. They don't have a single room without piles of CRAP. Not one! It's disturbing that two and a half people can't get it together.
Anyway, here was my board Christmas Eve. I put a lot of thought into it, balancing the flavors and what pairs well, I even candied the pecans, but it wasn't stressful by any means, just a few stops at different stores.
It wasn't difficult, so in theory Jan could have done it, but it did require
thought and planning in advance, so I don't think she created hers.

Oh and HEY TRACKER "PARENTS"!!!!!
Overindulgence is a form of child abuse. Like, for real. No joke.... constant overindulging is harmful for children's development. Do some googling if you don't want to pick up a book. It will mess a kid up. Unless the goal is to raise an anti-social rebellious narcissist with zero coping mechanisms and personality disorders that will alienate everyone in their lives, maybe reflect on how your actions can affect your son long term. Please.
P.S. Structure, expectations, boundaries and discipline are not bad words.
