The first Christmas with a new baby is loud, sleepless and completely wonderful, and it happens exactly once.
The story is told from the baby's side of the room: the first tree they ever saw, the arms that carried them past it, the songs Dad hummed at 3am. Putting the season in that order — small person looking up, father moving through the dark — is what separates this from a general Christmas book. Both names go in, the baby's and Dad's, and at that point it stops being a book like theirs and becomes theirs. Hardcover.
It is a keepsake in the literal sense: bought for a season that will not repeat, and most useful years later, when nobody can remember which year the sleepless one was. Wrap it for Dad rather than for the baby. He is the one who was awake for it.
