Mom

December 25, aka Christmas day. Christmas festivities were actually held Saturday with mom, sis and hubby, and the bf. A small crowd, yummy food, and very nice loot. Once all was said and done, though, I felt like I didn't have enough presents to give. While at home wrapping Friday night, I was impressed with the amount and quality of my gifts, and I was excited for my recipients to open them. But it al went too quickly Saturday, and I wished I had more to give. My mom loved the comforter set I gave her, going so far as to wrap herself in the comforter for most of the evening. I also got her a set of high thread-count sheets (600!), seeing as the sheet sets that come in those beds-in-a-bags are NEVER very nice. She LOVED that too, and she exclaimed that she never had anything so nice in her entire life. Now that's the best kind of gift - a gift that someone has never or would never get for herself, but so totally deserves it. That's the thing about my mom. All she asked for Christmas was a new ironing board cover. An ironing board cover! Sister got her one and was so excited that she immediately put it on her board and found something to iron. But that's all she asked for! And she deserves so much more. She is the most selfless person I know. If all she had was a penny, she would scourge around to find you a dime. She hasn't had the best life herself, especially with her marriage to my dad. However, she is still a happy, positive person; she understands the plights of her life, and is content with who is she is and, more importantly, with he she has become. She is amazing. I would give her so much more if I had the means, and it is my true intention to do so when I do finally have the means. An ironing board cover... A sign of her modesty and contentment...I hope to live my whole life to show her how much I appreciate her and love her for everything she is and does...
