Sorry for reminding you of that. Chart fans might like to know that Grandma was, in the period between 1971 and 1983 when chart compilers took a week off after Christmas, the only Christmas number one to not top the unpublished New Year chart, with John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" dipping out as a result.
