It's Christmas. Look around. See that person that needs help. The elderly widow across the street that needs her driveway shoveled. The single mom with a small child. The lonely college student that can't make it home for Christmas. See what you can do for someone else today.
My girlfriend confided in me this morning. She told me that in her 20 years of raising her children (she has a 20 yr old daughter and a 4 yr old son) that NO ONE has ever offered to take either child out to buy her a Christmas present. Not that she wants or needs a Christmas present. But children should be able to do that for their mother. Don't you think? So this year, let's not just assume that someone else is doing it. Let's do it ourselves. K?

I think it's fair to say that it is easy for us Moms to be overlooked sometimes. We are so busy taking care of our families that people assume we don't need anything because we "handle it all". No we shouldn't expect anything and yes so many others have it far worse than we do, but at the same time it's nice to feel appreciated every once in a while.
Awww. That makes me want to cry.
Great post. We all need a reminder.
