An educational book for toddlers that has single words next to photos, a few shape matching and counting activities, and even a handful of complete sentences, all with a Christmas theme.

My daughter found it boring when she was two and again at twenty-four.

While I like the amount of images and words in the book, I think that it was a little bit too advanced to be considered a first Christmas board book. My son is only 4 months old now, so maybe next year he will appreciate it more.

Picture book. There are some pretty hard words. Garland 🎄

The title of My Frist Christmas Board Book should probably be My First Christmas Words. Illustrated with photographs, this book contains secular, commercial, and religious Christmas vocabulary words. The categories are House Decorations on pages 3 & 4, [Christmas] tree decorations on pages 5 & 6, Christmas Trees on pages 7 & 8, Christmas Plants on pages 9 & 10, Christmas Lights pages on 11 & 12, White Christmas (i.e. snow-related words) on pages 13 & 14, the Nativity on pages 15 & 16, Animals at the Stable [at the Nativity] on pages 17 & 18, Santa Claus on pages 19 & 20, Christmas Eve on pages 21 & 22, and Christmas Presents on pages 23 & 24.

Pages 25 to 28 are groups of Christmas objects counting 1 to 10, and pages 29 & 30 show different shapes found at Christmas.

Pages 31 & 32 invite the reader to count different ornaments and ribbons while pages 33 & 34 contain a matching activity.

What a stupid title. How many Christmas Board Books does one usually amass over a lifetime? Nonetheless, the pictures are bright and vivid and babies like that.
