Child denied contact on prime time BBC TV

I watched the Christmas edition of "My Family" last night and "Ben" the Dad stepped in to play a reluctant Santa at an art gallery.
A little girl clambered up on his lap and when Santa asked her what she wanted for Christmas, she said that she wanted her Grandpa. She said that her Mum and her Grandad had fallen out and that now she never saw him, and she missed him.
'Santa' made it his Christmas mission to reunite them.
Eventually, he got them all together and after a few hiccups, the little girls dream came true.
Not much to ask is it, that a child sees her grandpa?
Whatever the reason for adults to fall out with one another a child should not have to miss out on the love and care of all their family.
This Christmas if just one family forgives and forgets for the sake of the children, it would be truly Christmas.
