Goodness Gracious Golly Gee: I Forgot My Christmas Tree!

About the Book

With Christmas fast approaching, one stay-at-home dad finds himself scrambling to prepare for the holidays. From putting up the tree and hanging decorations to baking cookies and finding the perfect gifts, he feels the weight of every expectation—and worries he won’t finish in time for Santa’s arrival.

This whimsical rhyming story beautifully captures the holiday anxiety that many families know all too well. Yet, as the tale unfolds, a magical Christmas figure appears to remind Dad of what truly matters during the holiday season. Instead of the hustle and bustle, the heart of Christmas shines through: love, joy, and togetherness.

Featuring festive illustrations full of holiday cheer, this story is perfect for parents and children alike. It gently reassures readers that Christmas doesn’t have to be “perfect” to be meaningful. Whether read aloud by the twinkling tree lights or gifted as a stocking stuffer, this book is a heartwarming reminder that the true spirit of the holidays comes from family, not from perfection.
