Most of a first Christmas with Dad happens at shoulder height, and the book is written from up there.

It is told in a child's voice and keeps to what that vantage point actually gives you: the lights seen from on Dad's shoulders, the crunch of paper, the nap that landed halfway through dinner. Both names are printed inside. The specificity is what makes it read back as a real memory rather than a generic account of a December. Hardcover.

Nobody remembers their own first Christmas, so what a book like this preserves is the adult's version, filed under the child's name. That is not a cheat; it is the only way the year survives at all. Read it back to them once they are old enough to be pleased about it.
