**Verse 1**  
You didn’t have to walk right in,  
Didn’t have to open up your arms  
But you did, Debra, you loved Dad,  
And you loved me from the start  
There’s magic in the way you make  
A house glow warm and bright  
Wrapping gifts when you’re running late  
Still giving all your light  

**Pre-Chorus**  
When December comes alive  
And the world feels soft and new  
Every ribbon, every stocking  
Feels like a thank you  

**Chorus**  
Debra, our bonus mother,  
You make Christmas what it is  
Every laugh and every memory  
All the joy you’ve wrapped and given  
We see Dad in every kindness  
You share with all your heart  
Debra, our Christmas angel,  
You’ve been family from the start  

**Verse 2**  
All those mornings up before the sun  
Still caring for Brock, Mary, and me  
You found time, when there was none  
To make space for family  
Now Mary’s growing her own tree  
Another grandchild on the way  
Jack-Rondey’s smile, a legacy  
Of our love that will not fade  

**Pre-Chorus**  
And every year you honor him  
With a gift for those in need  
Dad’s spirit shining through  
In every good deed  

**Chorus**  
Debra, our bonus mother,  
You make Christmas what it is  
Every laugh and every memory  
All the joy you’ve wrapped and given  
We see Dad in every kindness  
You share with all your heart  
Debra, our Christmas angel,  
You’ve been family from the start  

**Bridge**  
So as the snow falls softly now  
And the tree lights softly glow  
Know that Dad is still beside you  
Every Christmas, every home  
We love you more than words can say  
And we hope you always know  

**Chorus**  
Debra, our bonus mother,  
You make Christmas what it is  
Every laugh and every memory  
All the joy you’ve wrapped and given  
We see Dad in every kindness  
You share with all your heart  
Debra, our Christmas angel,  
You’ve been family from the start  

**Outro**  
Debra, we love you with all our hearts  
You’ve been family from the start
