I wouldn't tell her at Christmas. She could ultimately get upset by it or just be shocked, and it could ruin yours and your other family members time.
I think you should sit her down sometime this month, and just explain to her. Tell her it isn't a choice you personally made, it's just something that you are and you can't change it. Try and explain to her that you have taken time to come to terms and get used to it yourself, and you trust and love her enough to feel she has a right to know as you are both now mature adults.
If she doesn't take it the right way, then you need to understand. Don't be like storming off straight away or anything - because obviously it will be a bit upsetting and a shock to her to find something like that out, especially if she doesn't suspect it already. Therefore, if she does, just tell her your sorry but it's what you are and at the end of the day shes going to need to come to terms with it whether she likes it not, as it isn't something you can just change when you feel like it.
Just because your friends mum took it well, has no rellevance to your own mums reaction. Some people just act and have differet opinions to other people, on things. I wouldn't get jealous, because by seeing that your mum is concerned and upset about it - it shows she does care for you in her own way.
I wouldn't worry too much though. It's what you are. Your happy with it, so why shouldn't she be?
