How to Make Baby’s 1st Christmas Special

Do you have a newborn baby that will be celebrating their very first Christmas this year?! This is such an exciting milestone for your baby and definitely a day that you won’t ever forget! Although your baby obviously won’t remember their very first Christmas, you as a parent can still make it a special day for them to enjoy that day and it will be memorable for you. Here are a few tips and tricks for making your baby’s first Christmas special.
 
First Christmas Ornament: You can do this up as small or as big as you want, whether that be getting a general “baby’s first Christmas”, getting a personalized ornament, or even a DIY ornament. This is just a great way to make a memory of their first Christmas and you can hang it on the tree for all the years to follow. 

Have a Real Santa Claus Come: If you can, make Christmas real for them. Have a family member dress up, or even hire an actor to come in dressed as Santa Claus and let your baby meet them for Christmas. This will make a great time for your baby and not to mention will help when it comes to your baby used to Santa and seeing a big character! 

Allow them to Open Their Presents: Depending on how young your baby is, they may or may not be able to open up their presents. With your help, I’m sure they’ll have a wonderful time ripping the presents open.

Make it a Big Deal: It’s your baby’s first Christmas! Do it up big and make a big deal about it! If your baby sees you all excited and happy about Christmas, they will be excited and you will see a big smile on their face. Make sure that you really do make it exciting and all about them.

Dress Them Up/Take Pictures: Nothing is cuter than a baby dressed up?! Dress up your babies as a little elf or even a baby Rudolph! Be sure to take a BUNCH of pictures of your baby’s very first Christmas celebration! These pictures will be your lasting memories for such a big milestone in your little one’s life.

I think you really need to make your baby’s first Christmas a very memorable, and special day. It is probably the largest celebrated holiday of the year for them and their first is a really big deal. I hope these tips really help you to make your sweet baby’s first Christmas a really exciting and special day.

    Oh my gosh yes to the pictures and lots of them. Mine were pretty clueless when Christmas time came, but it was still adorable to see them by the tree.

    I took photos of my babies on a pile of wrapping paper for their first Christmases.

    We took so many pictures that first Christmas! Even though he was little, we still had him open pics (well act like it). Such wonderful memories.

    My baby turns six months old on Christmas Day AND it’s her first Christmas! I’m dressing her up in a Santa outfit that most of her older siblings also got to wear, plus taking tons of pictures!
