Dear Santa,
I want a mom for Christmas.
I want a mom so badly.
And I was pretty good this year, so I hope you will oblige.
There are a few requirements for her..
I want a very particular, certain kind of mom.
You’ll need the special elves to find her.
Here’s my list
I want a mom who makes yogurt face art a lunch project.
I want a mom who goes all out to make a table setting magical.
I want a mom who is enchanted by rain.
I want a mom who stays too long after church because she’s talking to her friends.
I want a mom that makes hot meals, like warm rice, chili or even eggs after long days at school.
I want a mom who likes road trips.
I want a mom who will play Scrabble at Denny’s at 2 in the morning.
I want a mom who likes action movies and wouldn’t mind an alternative life as a detective.
I want a mom who will sing Les Mis and Neil Diamond at the top of her lungs.
I want a mom who believes in justice, grace, and evaluating truth.
I want a mom who knows the value of a good hot shower and a nap.
I want a mom who loves blue and white china and wearing bright colors.
I want a mom who never stops thinking her husband is the bee’s knees.
I want a mom that rubs my back when I cannot sleep or feel so sick.
There you have my list, Santa.
If she’s not here by Christmas morning,
I’ll just assume she’s been right here ever since the day I was born.
