“Look, he’s almost at our house!”
A message arrives over breakfast. By the afternoon, the children recognise a nearby town on the map. The last part of the journey waits until you have the presents ready.
An illustrative family journey.
A star on the map. A letter for your children.
Choose where you’re celebrating and edit a few messages. Baby Jesus can use a familiar nickname or mention the storybook you’ll read that day. A symbol marks his place on the map, leaving your children free to imagine what he looks like.
Imagine it at home
- At breakfast
“We’ve got a letter!” Read it together and find him on the map.
- After a walk
See how far the little star has travelled.
- By the tree
Confirm that the presents are ready and let the journey finish.
A journey to your home
Choose where you’ll celebrate and when you’ll open presents. Follow Santa or Baby Jesus as he gets closer.
A message with your child’s name
Add a familiar nickname, a favourite book or something your children are looking forward to. You read and approve every message first.
Try it before Christmas
See what your children will see. Speed through the day, open the messages and try the arrival without starting the real journey.
Does the map show a real person’s location?
The map tells a story prepared by the parent. Its route and arrival follow the family’s plan; this is not GPS tracking of a real person.
More practical questionsIdeas to try together
“Where is he now?” A way to show children what comes next.
The first question arrives at breakfast. Then again while you’re putting on coats, and once more at Grandma’s. Four little pictures can help show what’s still to come.

In your child’s drawing, Baby Jesus has wings. In another family, everyone imagines him differently. A little star can show his route on the map and leave children’s pictures as they are.

Some children spot a familiar river, town or road straight away. Pause at those places when you look at the map together. “Is he here yet?” might briefly become “Which way will he go next?”
