A Couple's Christmas Memory Journal (Paperback)

Five Christmases, kept in one book. Each year opens with the same question – where did we spend Christmas this year? – and across the book you record the meal and who cooked, the gifts you gave each other, the funniest moments and the most tender ones. By the fifth December you can turn back and see how your Christmas has grown. It is something a screen cannot give: a real book you hold, write in, and hand on.

Who it is for

Couples who want a record of their Christmases together – a first Christmas as a pair, a first married one, or partners who have simply never written it down. The questions speak as "we" and "us", so you fill it in together.

What is inside

96 numbered prompts, one to a page, in eight sections of twelve:

• Five year sections – Christmas Together, A Year On, Settling Into Each Other, Christmases We Have Made, and Looking Back – each ending with a page for a photograph of the two of you.
• Christmas Eve Letters Across Five Years: for each year, a letter from each partner to be read the next Christmas Eve and a page to reply when you re-read it, then a space for both signatures.
• Lists Across the Years: twelve lists filled across all five years, from the carol that meant most to one word for each Christmas.
• A Blessing for All the Christmases to Come: blessings for each other and your family, a final photograph, and the date the book closes.

Each prompt page carries one question at the top and twenty ruled lines running down the page, inside a double-ruled border with hummingbird and floral corners.
