Dear Mom,
As snow falls outside the window and carols echo through the halls, I find myself thinking of everything you’ve done to make Christmas magical over the years. 🎄
From the early mornings you spent making pancakes shaped like snowmen 🥞⛄, to the way you always knew the perfect gift — you made every holiday feel like a fairy tale. Your love was the magic that turned cold nights into warm memories, and empty stockings into treasures.
Even when money was tight, you gave us everything. Even when you were tired, you smiled. Even when things didn’t go perfectly, you made it feel like they did. That’s your superpower. 💪💖
This Christmas, I don’t need presents. I just need you to know how deeply you are loved, how endlessly you are appreciated, and how profoundly you are respected.
Thank you for being my home, my heart, and my holiday miracle.
Merry Christmas, Mom. I love you forever. ❤️
Love,
[Your Name]
