MJ KidsA personalized Christmas story: your child as the hero of Christmas Eve
Imagine your child helping Santa deliver the presents. A Christmas story with their name and character, narrated, to listen to on Christmas Eve.
A personalized Christmas story is a narrated story where the hero has your child's name and a character that looks like them. At MJ Kids, it has 8 illustrated pages, narration with the child's name and arrives by link within 24 hours of sending the details.
Studies of personalized books show that children talk more and engage more when they recognize themselves in the story. At Christmas, it becomes a family keepsake.

What an MJ Kids story looks like

How to use it on Christmas Eve
The AAP recommends turning screens off at least an hour before bedtime. So the Christmas story fits best early in the evening: after bath, before dinner, everyone together, with the screen brightness down.
Then turn it off and talk about the story: what the hero did, who they helped. For more ideas, see personalized bedtime stories.
