Happy Christmas, Dad! You collected me from the airport at one in the morning last year and gave out about the parking the whole way home. Love you...

The podcast link is brilliant - you just get things you couldn't get in a book like laughing or the background in a recording! I am so happy we have this for all the grandkids.

SUPER idea. In a world where we're all so disconnected, capturing all the things we mean to each other is just priceless. Make the time, do it!

One link for everyone

They can each record a message on their own phone. Nobody needs an account.

How it works

Getting everyone in is easy!

The page everyone sees when they open the link, with a name typed in
1. Send the link to the group chat. They open it on their own phone and say who they are.
The recording screen, with a question and a big record button
2. They tap and talk. Or write it instead, or ask for a different question.
The video screen, with someone on camera answering the question
3. Or they film a video. They look at the camera and say it straight to Dad.

When everyone's in, you choose the podcast, the book online or the printed book.

The questions

One good question can unlock a great story!

Three of these go in the book to start. Swap in any you like, or write your own.

  1. What do you love most about Dad?
  2. What does Dad always do at Christmas?
  3. What's your favourite Christmas memory with Dad?
  4. What's the best advice Dad ever gave you?
  5. What's something Dad always says?
  6. What would you like to thank Dad for?
  7. What do you wish Dad for the year ahead?
  8. What do you want to say to Dad this Christmas?

Questions people ask

What if Dad says he doesn't want anything?

Then this is the one! It's messages from the people he loves, and he can listen to them as often as he likes.

Can family abroad record a message?

Yes! They open the link on their phone wherever they live and record. Every voice plays in the one podcast on Christmas morning.

When do I need to order for Christmas?

Order by Friday 4 December to have the printed book for Christmas morning. The podcast and the book online are ready the day you order.

Can his grandchildren take part?

Yes! A parent can hold the phone for the little ones, and teenagers can record on their own phone.

Does anyone need to download an app?

No. Everyone opens the link, taps record and talks, on any phone or laptop.

Can someone write their message instead?

Yes. Anyone can type their message instead of recording it, and add a photo with it.

Can everyone chip in?

Yes, if you turn chip-in on. What everyone puts in comes off what you pay.
