About This Story
On the night the tree goes up, your child opens the old ornament box — and the first ornament begins to glow, and grow, until it is as big as a door. They step through into its story: the year Grandpa made it, the winter it was given, the Christmas it came home. Three of your real ornaments, painted from your photos, each one a door into a family memory you tell us about. Then, at the bottom of the box, your child finds an empty space — and makes this year's ornament, the one that someone not yet born will ask about one day.
The moment it lands
Your child opens the ornament box, and the first ornament glows and grows into a door. Inside: the real story behind it, the one you tell every year. Three of your family's real ornaments, three family memories. Then your child finds an empty space at the bottom of the box — and makes this year's ornament, the one someone not yet born will ask about one day.
Why it stays on the nightstand
The keepsake grandparents will treasure. Three of your family's real ornaments, painted from your photos, each a door your child steps through into the memory behind it — the stories you tell every year, now in a book. At the end your child makes this year's ornament, and understands that one day it will be a story too.
