What To Write: Christmas Messages To Mom

There’s no place like home for the holidays. And moms are usually the ones who make it that way. So after all the time and effort your mom has put into Christmas over the years, deciding what to write in her card really matters. Plus, she’ll not only read it (more than once), but she’ll probably keep it forever.

No pressure, though. Really! You’ve come to the right place for plenty of meaningful messages worthy of their place on Mom’s mantle.

If your family celebrates like a scene out of a Christmas movie, singing carols while you decorate the tree, then great! You’ll have lots of sweet things to say. But since most of our holidays are more like crazy comedies (or serious dramas), it’s important to write something for Mom in a way that sounds like you. So while you’re browsing through all the warm wishes below…feel free to combine a few, or add your own little personal touch, to create just the right merry mix.

Now let’s dash through these bright ideas and make it the most wonderful time of Mom’s year…
