Nana's Cookie Tin
A Christmas song for Nana, from her granddaughter
A second song for a grandmother
Both examples are Christmas songs. This one follows a grandmother's work around a Christmas Eve service; a birthday or just-because song for her works the same way.
Candlelight After Service
A Christmas Eve song for a grandmother who volunteers at church
It follows the work before and after a Christmas Eve service: folding bulletins, lighting candles, singing alto and keeping the pantry stocked. When the organ goes quiet, her care is still holding the room together.
The detail it is built on: The jobs she does before anyone else arrives.

What to put in hers
- Her tradition
- What she bakes, the game she always wins, the seat that is hers. Name the room where it happens.
- What she says
- A phrase the family repeats, or what she says when someone tries to thank her.
- Who it is from
- One grandchild or the whole family. Say who is singing, and include the youngest ones if they are part of the tradition.

What should I include in a song for grandma?
Her traditions, the things she says and the room where family life happens around her. A recipe, a seat at the table or a job she always does gives the song somewhere specific to stand.
Should a song for grandma be nostalgic or grateful?
Often both: a memory from years ago and a thank-you for who she is now. Both examples on this page are about traditions she still keeps.
When is the best time to give a song to grandma?
Birthdays, family gatherings and Christmas are natural moments. Play it when the family is together, or send the reveal link if you live far apart.
