Grandfather Christmas: The First Christmas (Paperback or Softback)

What if you could witness the very first Christmas?

In The First Christmas, Nicholas embarks on a magical journey to the North Pole, where a long-awaited reunion with his loving parents, Theophane and Nonna, sets the stage for a story unlike any other. As they share the extraordinary tale of how they brought the Christmas Spirit to life—with the help of loyal reindeer, the spirited Pinefolk, and woodland creatures—Nicholas begins to understand his true purpose.

Guided by his father’s wisdom and the warmth of family, Nicholas steps into the role of Santa Claus, preparing for the most magical night the world has ever seen. Through kindness, hard work, and the joy of giving, a new tradition is born—one that will echo through generations.

Brimming with wonder and heart, The First Christmas is a timeless tale of love, legacy, and the magic that lives in us all.
