Advent book ‘The First Letters of Christmas’. The book was created by a father for his children as a memento of their childhood and has a unique, carbon copy design that allows children to write and send their letter to Santa, while the parents keep the second copy, building up an archive of their children’s letters year on year to keep forever.

In a time where our worlds are constantly dominated by screens, The First Letters of Christmas is a charming and beautifully designed book that can be enjoyed year after year, while helping to capture precious family memories during the magical time of Christmas. The First Letters of Christmas is a great pre-Christmas purchase or gift that parents can enjoy with their children in the exciting run up to the big day.

The advent of a new Christmas tradition. As the average age of children in England no longer believing in Father Christmas is 8 years and 11 days, there is precious little time to capture the memories of children carefully writing out letters to Santa. In an age when Father Christmas can be emailed a Christmas list, many parents are looking at keeping handwritten letters from their children. One new tradition breaking ground is ‘The First Letters of Christmas’, an advent book which tells the story of how Father Christmas prepares for the big day. Its carbon copy pages allow children to write and send their letter to Santa, and the parents to keep the second copy, building up an archive of their children’s letters year on year to keep forever.

The story features Santa and his elves, but is driven by Mrs Christmas, who leads the narrative and responsible for making “everything click”. ‘First Letters’ has a traditional Christmas charm, with sleigh bells and traditional Nordic artwork, but features elves more familiar in today’s Britain.

Its author Roque Fernandes said: “Last Christmas my son and daughter were writing their letters to Santa, which we usually take to the postbox or put in the chimney. It was really special to watch how much love and effort they put into their letters, and I didn’t want to lose such an important memento of their childhood. This inspired me to create the book.”

The First Letters of Christmas is available online at www.firstlettersofchristmas.com and costs £24.99.
