Plot
Nearly forty years on from 1979, Paul Magrs reminsces about Christmas, 1979.

In the holidays, it often snowed heavily, causing the local school to close due to both teachers and students to being unable to attend. Despite this, Paul had to do some school work, which, as far as Paul could remember, consisted of some sums, nature study, and a fair amount of writing. Paul still feels like he's writing stories which he started back then.

Paul remembers how his Mam bought fragrant foods for Christmas. He and his Mam had gone to the Fine Fare superstore
