Every year, like clockwork, Santa Claus slides down chimneys, drops off presents, and soaks in global praise as the hero of holiday cheer. Songs are written about him, cookies are baked for him, and entire movies revolve around his journey and joy.
But there’s one tiny, tinsel-covered detail we all politely ignore:
Mrs. Claus has been doing at least half the work and getting zero of the credit.
Let’s be honest. Do we truly believe Santa is the one coordinating the toy list, planning the packing operations, color-coding the wrapping paper, and reminding the elves (again) to stop leaving glitter everywhere?
Please.
Santa can barely keep his belt buckled.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Claus is running a full-scale holiday empire; quietly, efficiently, fabulously.
She’s the one curating the cozy glow of the North Pole home, ensuring every hearth feels warm and every stocking is perfectly placed. She’s whipping up hot cocoa that fuels a 24/7 toy factory. She’s planning, prepping, organizing, gifting, wrapping, decorating, and keeping the holiday season stitched together with peppermint-scented precision.
Santa may have the sleigh, but Mrs. Claus is clearly holding the reins.
| Let’s Talk About the Real Magic of the Season Behind every great man is… a woman who reminds him where he left his boots, preps the travel snacks, organizes the logistics, coordinates the reindeer rotations, and double-checks the route because she knows he did not read the list twice. Women have always carried the soft power and the strong power: ? Creating life ? Protecting families ? Nourishing and nurturing households ? Balancing emotional labor with actual labor ? Keeping traditions alive ?And making sure the holiday magic actually happens From cooking feasts to wrapping gifts, from decorating the house to making memories happen, women—moms, grandmothers, daughters, aunties, partners—have long been the real Chief Holiday Officers. But too often, their work is invisible. Expected. Unpraised. Unseen.Just like our dear Mrs. Claus.It’s Time for Mrs. Claus to Step Into the SpotlightThis holiday season, let’s rewrite the narrative. Let’s cheer for the woman behind the scenes whose hands and heart make the holidays happen. Mrs. Claus isn’t a background character. She’s the CEO of Holiday Operations. The Boss Lady of Christmas. The North Pole’s original feminist icon. And maybe, just maybe, it’s time for women everywhere to move from the passenger seat to the driver’s seat. To hold the reins with confidence. To lead without apology. To get the recognition they have always deserved. To Every Woman Who Makes Life Merry To the women who plan, prep, organize, protect, nurture, dream, coordinate, and create the warmth of home… We see you.We appreciate you.We celebrate you.And we know the holidays and the world would fall apart without you. Mrs. Claus may not ask for credit, but she certainly deserves it.So raise a mug of cocoa to the women who make everything magical; the queens of comfort, the protectors, the creators of life, the leaders of love. This year, may every Mrs. Claus take her rightful place: front and center, holding the reins, steering the sleigh, and shining in her full holiday glory. |
