How Working Moms Foster Christmas Memories

As we approach the most magical time of the year, I can't help but reflect on the unique role working moms play in creating cherished Christmas memories for their children.

Being a mom is a full-time job in itself, but when you add a career into the mix, it can feel like a juggling act, nearly every week, and with the holidays it seems to create added pressure!

Yet, despite the demands and challenges, I believe I have found ways to make the holiday season truly special for my daughters.

I remember one Christmas when I was working long hours leading up to the holidays. I was exhausted, but I knew I couldn't let my work commitments overshadow this season for my girls. So, I made a conscious effort to create meaningful events for all of us in our December that focused on outings rather than material trappings events, hoping they might remember these traditions and moments later in life.

From baking cookies, driving to see Christmas lights, making gingerbread houses, and our Christmas Eve single present opening. It's not always about the quantity of time we spend with our children, but the quality of those moments.

It's about being present, fully engaged, in creating these memories.

I believe this is what our children will remember about the holidays.

Most importantly I believe working moms have a unique ability to instill a sense of resilience, determination, and gratitude in their children. They teach them the importance of balancing responsibilities, pursuing their dreams, and cherishing the moments that truly matter.

Last, to all the working moms out there, I want to celebrate you and the incredible impact you have on your children's lives, especially during the holiday season. Your dedication and sacrifice doesn't go unnoticed.

Merry Christmas to all and my beautiful daughters inside and out and Happy New 2024!
