Slow Christmas

Granddaughter → Grandma

Christmas · Lofi

Merry Christmas, Grandma. I live too far away now, and around this time of year I really feel it — I miss those slow Christmases at your place. A puzzle half-finished on the card table, old carols crackling on the kitchen radio, nobody in any hurry to be anywhere. The world's gotten so fast, and your house was the one place it slowed all the way down. Thinking about you today more than ever. I love you, Grandma.

Song story

Background

Megan is 33 and lives far from her grandma Dorothy now, and the holidays always bring back the slow Christmases of her childhood at Dorothy's — a puzzle half-finished on the card table, carols crackling on the kitchen radio, nowhere anyone needed to be. She wanted to carry that warmth across all the miles between them, so for Christmas she made a soft, nostalgic lo-fi song for her grandma.
