Angel by Newt Hoggard
Sometimes there is no story to write, sometimes the truth is all that is required, topped and tailed to wrap it neatly into 75-words. What you will read here is exactly what my then seven year old wrote in his hand made Christmas card last year. I cried.
They carefully opened the card and read it aloud to their son who had just presented it to them. ‘To mummy and daDdy. You are the bestest. I lov you very mucH. MeRry Christmass. Xxxxxxx’ Around the outside of the card there were many witnesses to the statement: Father Christmas, Rudolf, snowmen, angels, the family cat wearing a Santa hat. They scooped up their little child and they cuddled, knowing that such gifts were priceless.
Merry Christmas to you all.
