Some things only happen once, and one of them is the first year a man wraps a gift that is not for a grown-up.
The other is the first time he is the one staying up to assemble something. This keepsake is a record of that Christmas — the one where the jobs changed hands without anybody announcing it — with his name and his child's name written into the pages. Nothing about the description is heroic, which is why it reads as true. Hardcover.
It is a small enough shift that it usually goes unremarked at the time and looms much larger later. Writing it down while it is still happening is the whole idea. Give it on the morning, before the assembling starts, so he reads it in the right frame of mind.
