A song for the first Christmas without Dad
The empty chair doesn't need explaining to anyone in the room. A song made from his actual life — what he said, what he did every single year — gives the day somewhere to put him.
It's the small things that ask where he went
It isn't grief in general. It's the specifics: who carves now, the same terrible cracker joke every year, the coat still on the hook, the record he always put on before anyone else was up. The first Christmas is when every small ritual quietly asks where he went.
A song built from those exact details doesn't fix that, and it isn't meant to. It gives the family somewhere to put it — something to play once, on the morning, before the day carries on.
The same holds for a mum, a husband, a wife or a child. Send us who they were and we'll write from that.
- The thing he always did on Christmas Day
- A phrase of his the family still repeats
- What he did for work, and how he was while doing it
- The year that was hard, and how he handled it
- What you're carrying forward from him
When people play it. Christmas morning before everyone arrives, at the meal, or sent to relatives who can't be there. Some families play it once and never again. Some play it every year.
