What's the Worst Part of Going Back to School in Emmaus?

Every so often, Staples will break out its classic back to school TV ad: A gleeful dad—with two sullen kids in tow—dancing down the aisles, loading up a cart, to the tune of "It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year."

But back-to-school-time isn't always Christmas for grown-ups. We asked readers on the Emmaus Patch Facebook page about the hardest part of getting ready for the start of school.

"Shopping for school clothes," wrote reader Melissa Sefcik. "My son hates to shop unless it's for toys."

"Adjusting sleep schedules and morning routines again," said Jennifer Trumbore.

And reader Tom Schilling sounds like he takes after the Staples dad. The hardest part for him: "Holding back the screams of joy."
