Your mom has always been your best friend. From asking you, “Do you want to be right, or do you want to be happy?” when you get in a fight with the boyfriend, to reminding you that, “Everything will get done, it always does,” you’re not sure where you would be without all her advice. Of course, she says she doesn’t want anything for Christmas, but that’s one thing you’re not listening to.
