Every year, the holiday season reminds me of one undeniable truth: Moms make the magic! 🌟
A handful of years ago, this realization inspired me to create something special for my mom, Caroline—the woman who’s made every Christmas feel like a cozy, joy-filled dream. While Santa and Frosty get all the credit, it’s moms like her who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make the holidays warm, bright, and unforgettable. And so, A Christmas Song For Mom was born.
🌙 A Random Night with a Big Idea
One quiet evening, the idea hit me: “Why does Santa get all the glory when Mom is the real MVP of Christmas?” I grabbed my Apple corded headphones (shoutout to Garageband!) and recorded the first version of the song right then and there. It was raw, heartfelt, and completely inspired by the incredible spirit of my mom.
Maybe you’ve had a moment like that too—a realization that the real magic of the season comes from someone special in your life.
🌟 The Magic of Caroline
My mom, Caroline, is the kind of person who makes every little thing feel special. She has always been the architect of Christmas magic in my world:
Cozy socks warming my feet on rainy evenings.
The scent of pine spray transforming our home into a winter wonderland.
The fireplace DVD she sent me when I moved out, making sure I’d always have that cozy ambiance, no matter where I was.
Hot chocolate nights, listening to the pitter-patter of raindrops, wrapped in her warmth and love.
These aren’t just small gestures—they’re the very essence of what Christmas feels like to me. Everything festive and bright about the holidays is thanks to the way she’s lived her life—with heart, intention, and so much joy.
And I know for many of us, these memories are especially precious when the person who made them possible is no longer with us. Whether you’re celebrating with your holiday hero or honoring their memory, their magic lives on in the traditions and love they’ve passed down. ✨
🎸 Digital Droo’s Jazzy Touch 🎸
The song got an incredible upgrade thanks to Digital Droo, who worked his magic, adding some jazzy guitar and lending his mad mixing skills to the track. Yet, even with all the polish, the final version you hear today still features that original vocal recording I made with my Apple earbuds. I think it’s a testament to how something simple and heartfelt can shine when the intention is true. 🎧✨
🎁 A Gift That Keeps On Giving 🎁
I gave this song to my mom as a gift one Christmas. The next year, with Droo’s touch, I leveled it up and gifted her the polished version. And the year after that? I made her a cartoon music video!
At this point, I’m pretty sure my mom was wondering if I’d ever give her something other than versions of the same song. 😂 It kind of reminds me of the story she told me about my dad, who was born three days after Christmas and received one shoe for Christmas and the other shoe on his birthday.
But hey, when someone fills your life with so much magic, one tribute just isn’t enough!
