What to put in a personalised song christmas gift
Just share the moments that make your family's Christmas unique. We'll turn them into verses and choruses.
The funny rule
The ten-pound limit you set this year: it's the perfect line for a cheeky verse.
The Boxing Day walk
Everyone pretends they hate it, but you all love the cold-air stroll.
Grandma's sherry
The exact measure she pours each year: a warm detail for a cosy bridge.
Dad's gravy pride
His secret recipe and the way he guards the ladle: perfect for a proud chorus.
A worked example
Meet the Hartley family
They're invented, but many families look like them. This is the kind of detail they sent us, and what we made from it. Your song would be built from your own memories.
Hartley family
Two parents, three kids, one grandma: an ordinary, brilliant Christmas.
- Boxing Day walk nobody wants, everyone loves
- Annual Monopoly ban
- Grandma's sherry measures
- Dad's gravy pride
What the Hartleys told us
We're the Hartleys: two parents, three kids, one grandma upstairs, and this year we agreed no presents over a tenner, so I'm cheating with a song about us. The Boxing Day walk nobody wants and everyone loves, the annual Monopoly ban, Grandma's sherry measures, Dad's gravy pride. Our ordinary, brilliant Christmas, in a song.
