What Mom Really Wants This Christmas.

The holidays are upon us – we are in full swing of the busy season, and while moms across the country are shopping away, keeping lists of present ideas, and sneaking in Amazon orders from the porch before the kids get home to see, they may be too busy to make their own gift wish list. So, if you’re one of those mommas, share this post with the gift buyers in your life. Maybe this year, you’ll get what you really want for Christmas (or find something to gift yourself).

We asked local moms what was on their Christmas list – these are their responses, all from real Memphis moms.
