A Bishopbriggs December with Granny

Cold air smell
Christmas raffle
Crow caw, pavement slide.

Soft, warm, hands,
Sunday lunch-time
Snapped crackers, party hats.

A card shop window
Angels glowing
A tiny train, toy boxes.

Picking a skein of ribbon
Posting a letter to Santa
Pure pleasure, much excitement.
