Activity 1
After Granny moved in, she spent most of her time on the brown sofa by
the fire. Sometimes she was quiet, but she seemed happy. When I wrote a
letter to Father Christmas telling him about the presents I wanted, Granny
made an effort to help me. Her hand was slightly shaky, but she wrote
“Father Christmas, the North Pole” on the envelope.
“That’s the most beautiful tree I’ve ever
seen,” Granny said.
Then she started singing, “Oh, Christmas
tree, oh, Christmas tree, you fill my heart
with music...”
Before bed, Granny and I left a plate of
sugar biscuits out for Father Christmas,
and put a stocking at the end of my bed.
I remember Granny sitting on my bed and singing softly
until I fell asleep.

A few weeks after that Christmas, Granny passed away. I think of her often
though, especially at Christmas. Each year, I take out the music box she gave
me. Inside I keep Granny’s paper hat and the letter she helped me write that
Christmas. Mum gave the letter back to me some years ago when I no longer
believed in Father Christmas. When I think about what makes Christmas so
magical, it’s not just gifts and Father Christmas that come to mind. It’s also my
memory of Granny. Now I’m the one who makes sugar biscuits each year,
and I always make one in a G-shape—G for Granny.
