Only Granny Spends Christmas with Little Sam, Soon His Busy Parents Get Call from Police – Story of the Day

A little boy was forced to spend Christmas Eve with just his granny after his busy parents attended to yet another work emergency. Later that evening, they got a call from the police alerting them that their son was missing.

Christmas is a special holiday that children look forward to. It’s filled with joyful songs, festive meals, exciting gifts, and quality time with family exchanging touching stories and doing holiday activities together.

Christmas has always been Sam’s favorite time of the year because he gets to decorate the Christmas tree, receive gifts from Santa, and most importantly, because it’s a particular time wherein his parents would actually sit with him during dinner and pay attention to him.

“It’s okay, sweetheart,” Grandma Nelly consoled him. “The tree is beautiful. When your parents finish their work, they’ll appreciate the great job you did with the tree!”

Sam nodded and smiled at his grandmother softly. However, the old woman could see the hurt and sadness in her grandson’s eyes and couldn’t do anything about it.

During Christmas Eve, Sam helped Grandma Nelly prepare their dinner for the night. They baked a whole chicken, made some pasta, and an apple pie for them to enjoy.

Sam was very happy to see his mom and dad sitting with him and Grandma Nelly at the table. He couldn’t wait to open gifts with them after dinner before finally watching a movie together, snuggled up beside one another on the couch.
