During the holidays, Mom is always very busy. But what if she got paid a salary for all her work?

According to a Daily Mirror survey, if mothers got paid for preparing for Christmas, they would earn close to $30,000 for their work. The paper figured out that women perform 11 jobs and are hopelessly undercompensated.

Those jobs include:

- 46 hours cooking at $50 an hour.

- 96 hours choosing gifts at $30 an hour.

- 12 hours making costumes for nativity plays at $25 an hour

- 62 hours organizing events at $60 an hour

- 32 hours as a party hostess at $75 an hour

Now wait. 96 Hours for choosing gifts. I think that might be a bit excessive. Although Moms do seem to carry the heavy load when it comes to Christmas and all things associated with the holidays. We salute you, Mom.
