Firpo’s as we walked. We ended up buying the fruitcake,the same as last year. Grandfather got me a cookie to eat on the way back. I asked grandfather a question that I 'd been thinking over for some time now. Why was Christmas called the Big day?
Grandfather was silent for a whole minute and when he finally spoke,his voice was slow. Christmas----the birthday of a very special soul, it was a day to grow big, he said.
“And how do you grow big in your heart, Grandfather?” I asked him.
He answered slowly and softly, as though I were the same age as he,”By doing something you think will make them happy. Something you don’t have to do, by putting their n eeds before yours at least once a day. It’s a good start for trying to live a big life.
