Don’t stress too much about getting the words just right. Your mom’s going to love your message because it’s from you, whether it’s a silly joke that makes her roll her eyes and laugh, or something sweet that brings a tear to her eye.
Heck, you could probably just write “I love you, Mom” and she’d be over the moon.
So go on, pick one of these messages if it feels right, or let them spark an idea of your own. The important thing is letting her know she’s special to you.
While you’re at it, why not give her an extra-long hug when you see her? After all, moms need to know they’re appreciated all year round, not just when Santa’s on his way.
