Dear Heidi, my name is Melody and I am 7. I live with my grandma. I don’t know what to get her for christmas. She doesn’t play video games or anything. I don’t have a job or money. Can you help me?

Dear Melody,

The good news is that there are plenty of things that your grandma would love and they don’t cost money.

Make an extra effort to help around the house

draw her a picture and write her a note about how much you love her

sit together on the couch and read

ask to have her teach you a game she played at your age

The best gifts are not things, they are experiences with people we care about.

Your friend,

Heidi
