I have the piano music for “Grandma’s Christmas Secret”, by Robert Maxwell, and would be happy to send it to anyone who wants it. It’s in a songbook entitled “'John Lane presents “Dear Santa” - 53 Christmas Songs and Original Children’s Letters to Santa”. [A big3 Publication/Editor: David C. Olsen/Production: Frank J. Hackinson/ Printer: Central Litho (Miami)] ---

@Christy1207, I would dearly love a copy of this music. I remember learning this in elementary school in the 70s growing up in the Ottawa valley area in Ontario, Canada. I hope we can connect. Thanks so much for solving this puzzle! It’s a special memory unlocked and would love to sing it again with my family. Thanks very much. ---

It looks like the sheet music is available here - but I can’t confirm it’s the same song. [https://www.jwpepper.com/Grandmas-Christmas-Secret/1201995.item](https://www.jwpepper.com/Grandmas-Christmas-Secret/1201995.item) Meanwhile, here’s a version for you to watch/listen to: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/KMAu-8IP2CI/maxresdefault.jpg ""Grandma's Christmas Secret", The Bloomfield Chorale, 12/02 2017") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMAu-8IP2CI) ---

It doesn’t look like Christy1207 has been around for a year… This is a very old thread… ---

I had found this on YouTube as well. It really brought it all back so thanks for sharing. Sadly, JW Pepper doesn’t have any of the four selections that popped up on their site. They will update same. ---

Yes, I am keeping my fingers crossed that @Christy1207 will chime in nevertheless. There is a copy of the book on eBay, but $55 is pretty steep for a book that was $10.95 back in the day and this is the only song that interests me.
