What kind of Christmas does Santa have? Turns out, the man who makes Christmas special has a Christmas that’s anything but — until now. Sparkling with the true magic of Christmas — caring, sharing and being kind — Mac Barnett and Sydney Smith’s Santa's First Christmas is sure to prompt plenty of pre-bedtime talk around Santa and thinking of others. Witty, and as warming as a mug of thick chocolate, this has the feel of a Christmas classic that’ll be read year on year.
As for the story, after noticing that their boss gets straight back to work after a half an hour lie-in on Christmas morning, the elves feel “embarrassed”. “We should do something special for Santa”, they resolve, before doing exactly that.
After taking Santa through the magical rituals of choosing and decorating a tree, hanging up stockings, putting up lights, making biscuits and exchanging gifts, Santa is smitten and suggests, wryly, “We should do this every year”. What a joy.

About
Santa's First Christmas Synopsis
Mac Barnett and Sydney Smith team up for an unforgettable celebration of Christmas.
We all know that Santa makes everyone's dreams come true every Christmas, but it turns out that he needs a little help getting into the holiday spirit himself. Instead of letting Santa get right back to work after he returns home to the North Pole on Christmas morning, his loyal elves want to make sure he experiences the same Christmas cheer he provides for others. With the perfect tree, lots of delicious treats, and, of course, presents, Santa experiences the magic of Christmas for the very first time.
Beloved children's book creators Mac Barnett and Sydney Smith have unveiled Santa unlike ever seen before, and as a result, created a merry new Christmas classic.
