By Mari’Anna Tees

The holidays have always carried a certain magic — twinkling lights, warm moments, and the quiet reminder that even in the middle of struggle, beautiful things still grow. But this year, for our family here at Mari’Anna Tees, the season feels different. Stronger. Softer. More meaningful.

Because this year, we’re not just celebrating resilience…
We’re living it.

🎄 Why This Holiday Season Means Everything to Us

Our journey hasn’t been easy.
We’ve moved through heartbreak, health battles, family loss, housing instability, and rebuilding our lives from scratch. Yet each time life tried to break us, we found a way to rise again — together.

This holiday season marks a chapter we once prayed for but didn’t know when we’d see.
After multiple miscarriages…
After nights spent praying for protection…
After walking through storms many people never knew we faced…

We are blessed to share that we are expecting our baby boy — our “Player 3” — on Christmas Day.

A Christmas baby.
A miracle in the middle of winter.
A reminder that God writes stories bigger than pain.

Every item in this collection carries a piece of that truth.

✨ The Meaning Behind Our Holiday Collection

Our Holiday Resilience Collection is more than festive apparel.
It is our story stitched, printed, and embroidered into every piece.

🎁 “Resilience Never Sleeps” Tees 

Because strength doesn’t take holidays off.
Because your spirit keeps going — even when life feels cold.

❄️ “Resilient Through the Cold” Winter Beanie

Created for the ones who made it through their toughest seasons.
Your warmth is earned.

🕯 “Gratitude in the Grit” Thanksgiving Drop

For families who had to fight hard just to stay together.
For anyone who has learned to be thankful inside the struggle — not after it.

🎄 Detroit → Dallas Holiday Ornament

A tribute to our journey.
To leaving home with faith, not certainty.
To rebuilding one step at a time.
To turning a painful road into purpose.

Every snowflake, skyline, and stitch represents real life. Real sacrifice. Real hope.

✨ Why We Created This Collection

Because clothing can be a message.
Because someone out there needs to be reminded they’re not alone.
Because your story deserves to be worn with pride.

And because when you support Mari’Anna Tees, you’re helping a real family —
A husband working through chronic pain, long Amazon shifts, and late-night studio sessions…
A wife fighting Lupus while keeping the home, the business, and her strength alive every day…
A daughter learning from the resilience she sees in us…
And a baby boy growing peacefully as we prepare to welcome him on Christmas Day.

Your support keeps our dream alive.
Your purchases help us build the generational stability we never had.
Your belief helps us continue rising — one shirt, one hoodie, one order at a time.

✨ What We Hope You Feel When You Shop

We hope you feel encouraged.
We hope you feel empowered.
We hope you feel seen, understood, and uplifted.

But most of all —
We hope you wear our pieces and know you’re part of something meaningful.

Not a brand.
A family.
A story still being written.

This holiday season is not just about gifts…
It’s about gratitude.
It’s about growth.

From our family to yours —
Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you for supporting us.
