Santa’s First Christmas

 
　　每到聖誕夜，孩子們都喜孜孜地期待聖誕老公公送來禮物，實現自己的美好心願！但你知道為大家帶來無限歡樂的聖誕老公公，都是怎麼度過聖誕節的嗎？他忙著到各地發送禮物後，就回家睡覺，然後隔天早上再起床工作……
 
　　「什麼，不會吧！他連一點特別的慶祝活動都沒有？」北極熊非常驚訝。
　　「嗯，他頂多再多睡個半小時吧……」小精靈們越說越心虛。
　　「嘿，但這可是聖誕節耶！」
　　「我們應該一起為他做點什麼。」
 
　　今年聖誕節，小精靈們身為聖誕老公公的好夥伴，決定為他送上特別的驚喜。聖誕節不能少的節日布置、慶祝儀式和不可或缺的美食……每件事都非常有趣又讓人充滿期待，總是為大家送上歡樂的聖誕老公公，第一次體驗到聖誕節的驚喜。叩！叩！叩！一位蓄著白鬍子、穿著紅衣服，還扛著一個紅色大布袋的神祕訪客來了，Ho！Ho！Ho！沒錯，專屬於聖誕老公公的禮物來囉！　　
 
　　聖誕老公公，真的好喜歡、好喜歡這個特別的日子。未來的每一年，讓美好的期待延續下去，每年的聖誕節，都讓我們一起慶祝這個美好日子的到來。

        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.
