Just round the corner



Tramgirl has been getting ready for Christmas since July.
She’s been painting, baking, dress making, singing. You name it, she been at it.

Not for herself, for others.

When I asked her the other day what she wanted for Christmas.
She took in a deep breath, flared her nostrils, stared at the floor and took in two more long breaths.

‘How many times do I need to tell you, I don’t want anything.’

Alright I thought, no need to be so righteous about it.

I went and put the kettle on.

That night as I was hopping into bed I found a note under my pillow.

It read.

Christmas is a time of surprises.
Please stop asking me what I want and just buy me something.

Thanks x
