Details
Give Mum 160 Christmas questions and a page for each answer, and you get back her Christmases in her own handwriting: the tree of her childhood, the pudding recipe, the carol she loves most, the hard years and how she got through them. It is something a screen cannot give: a real book she holds, writes in, and hands on.
Who it is for
Adult children who want to know their mother beyond the role of Mum, and mothers who want their Christmas stories kept. Fill it in together at the kitchen table, or give it to her to answer in her own time through Advent, the holidays and the weeks after. A few questions mention her husband and grandchildren; she can skip any that do not fit.
What is inside
160 numbered questions, one to a page, in eight chapters of 20:
- Her Childhood Christmases
- Becoming a Mother at Christmas
- Mum's Christmas Recipes
- Letters and Cards Through the Years
- Carols, Music, and the Quieter Moments
- Gifts You Gave and Gifts You Received
- Hard Christmases, Tender Christmases
- What You Hope Will Be Remembered
Each question sits at the top of its own page in 16pt type, such as "What did the house smell like on Christmas Day when you were small?" or "Was a sixpence ever wrapped in the pudding mix?", with 21 or 22 ruled lines beneath for her answer and small hummingbird and leaf drawings in the corners. The last question asks her to bless the family in her own words.
