Some Christmases stand out the moment they happen: a baby’s first, a couple’s first together, the first one in a new home. This keepsake journal gives a Christmas like that a place on the page. A name goes on its vegan leather cover, and inside are 200 lined pages waiting to be filled.

The details of a year like that can fade faster than anyone expects. These pages can hold on to them: the first ornament on the tree, the song playing while it went up, what the baby did with the bows.

Because the pages are simply lined, nothing is laid out for them in advance. It could hold one long letter to a child who’ll read it when they’re grown. It could just as easily hold a few notes written each evening in December, with no plan at all.

Later on, it’s there to read again. The brown elastic closure band keeps it closed on the shelf, and the ribbon bookmark can mark a favorite page.

It measures 5.8″ x 8.5″ and ⅝” thick. Keep the cover clean with a soft cloth, and don’t use chemical cleaners. We make each one to order, then print it and ship it from the USA.

For new parents, newlyweds or anyone in a new home, this is a gift about their own year, written in their own words.
