This is an excellent story that captures all the blessings we can give and get, especially in the Christmas season when we are so keen to do so. The brilliant smiles generated by the giver, the receiver, and all witnesses is the stuff of miracles and blessings.

Comment from Phyllis Stewart
What a beautiful story. Her son spent all his money on that dress for her. That's the sort of thing parents do for kids all the time, but this time it's reversed, which makes it very special. :)

That is a beautiful story, I could picture the delight in your Mamma;s eyes.
How proud and happy must she have felt entering the church, knowing all eyes would be upon her, well done and good luck.

What a beautiful Christmas memory. Your words are just full of love for your mother . She is lucky to have such a thoughtful son. I think this story should do well in the contest.

I love the way you have developed this story. The relationship between Joshua and his mother is sensitively portrayed through little asides like his previous homemade presents being so much treasured. The way you end the story is magnificent. It brings a tear to the eye.

I love this heartwarming christmas story. Liked the ultimate gift of not just the dress but the gift of pride Joshua gives her. I also like that she took a bit of time to show off. Very heartwarming. Good luck in the contest

I really enjoyed your story. It's very poignant and well written. I didn't find anything that needed editing and certainly can't suggest any improvements. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Barbaraj1
This is a lovely story of a son's love for his mother. I think most boys
would be thinking of what they could buy for all the money they saved up.
This is a kind, unselfish son.
