My “Mommy Christmas List”
(To the tune of “Grown-up Christmas List” — here’s a video of the popular Amy Grant version if you’re not familiar!)
Do you remember me? 
You sat upon my knee
I sang to you, with new mom fantasies
Well you’ve grown a little now
And I need all the help allowed
I’m a mom, but my heart still can dream
So, here’s my current wish
My Mommy Christmas list
All for myself, so kiddos please take heed
No more tantrums in Walmart
That Baby Shark would never start
And toys would have no missing parts
And I could pee without a “friend”
Finish a text AND press send
And nap time would never end, no
This is my Mommy Christmas List.
As a new mom I believed
The sweetest sight to see
Was a new baby looking up at me
But Heaven only knows
That late nights and a runny nose
Can wreck our brains and make a weary soul
No more sleep regression nights
That my child would never bite
And time would end all fights
And I could grab lunch with a friend
And have a chat that’s not pretend
And free time would never end, no
This is my Mommy Christmas list.
Meaning in the Chaos
- That my children would know the true meaning of Christmas.
- That all children would feel loved and cared for, at Christmas and all year round.
- That I will find a way, in and between chaotic moments, to be an encouragement, not a drain, to those around me throughout the holidays.
