Chaotic holiday family arrival montagefrom @abby_brancati

[01]

Overview

The creator humorously demonstrates the chaos she brings to her mother's house for the holidays through a rapid montage. She starts by arriving out of a car sunroof, wrangles her kids and a dog up the driveway, hands off the baby to her mom inside, pours a massive glass of wine at the bar, and finally relaxes in an outdoor hot tub with a pastry, all while a persistent text overlay explains the relatable premise.
