- Quotes
Bonnie: [crying on the bed] The holidays are just really hard for me.
Marjorie: [sarcastically] Oh *you're* the one.
Bonnie: [sits up] Christy told this... awful story about when she was a kid, and I've heard the story a thousand times, and I laughed every single time... but this time... I just wanted to... punch myself in the face for how horrible I was.
Marjorie: Bonnie, this is to be expected. You're coming up on 5 years of sobriety, and you're just now starting to look back at the person you used to be through sober glasses, and it's a hard thing to take.
Bonnie: But why at Christmas?
Marjorie: We don't get to pick when it happens. I once made a flight to Detroit very uncomfortable for my fellow passengers.
Bonnie: Why were you going to Detroit?
Marjorie: National Cat Show.
Bonnie: Is that why you were crying, because you paid to go to a cat show?
Marjorie: I was crying because 15 years earlier I cheated on my husband and it was only during mid-flight that the... enormity of what I'd done hit me.

I have Reviewed OVER 600 "Christmas Films, & Christmas Television Movies , & Television Specials". Please BEWARE Of films and specials with just one review! For instance When "It's a POSITIVE" chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. "If its Negative" then they may have a grudge against the film for whatever reason. I am fare. I am on a mission to watch every Christmas Movie ever produced. Since 2014 I average 100 per year.
As a person in recovery I always have always been a huge fan of the television show "Mom". On on episode that aired on 12/12/2019 was one of the best written shows of its entire run.
In this episode its the Christmas time. Bonnie and Christie (Allison Janney) has an out of town guest witch is Bonnie Sponsee, a woman who is also in recovery.
When this lady (KATE MICUCCI) tells (Christi) that she has no relationship with her daughter because of her addiction Christi tells her about her past with her mother. Christi can laugh about it but in reality this makes Bonnie very sad and realizes how she failed as a parent.
