Celebrating The First Christmas With Your Little Angel
Are you getting ready for celebrating the first Christmas with your baby? A child sees enchantment in everything. Amazingly enchanted! Over the first year of a baby’s life, you’ll document a lot of major moments—but when it comes to making memories, there’s nothing quite like Christmas. Baby doesn’t understand the significance of Christmas, therefore every day is Christmas to them.

You want your child’s first Christmas to be memorable, so you snap plenty of photographs to enjoy in years to come. If this is your first Christmas with a young one, here are 5 ways to make it special.

How Can I Make My Baby’s First Christmas Special?

It is indeed wonderful that you are a parent, but it is more wonderful that you have this once-in-a-lifetime moment when your baby is celebrating her first Christmas. The below tips and tricks will make it even more memorable, and this needs to cherish for life.

1. The Decorations

Christmas is totally nothing without the celebration decorations. Babies are curious! They will love everything from the figurines of the Nativity scene to the swinging tree decorations and the shining star! 

It is likely that one of the most important parts of your Christmas rituals is the ritual of hanging decorations. And the task of decorating your home will take on an even deeper significance this year. Invest in a one-of-a-kind ornament to mark the occasion of your child’s first Christmas, and you’ll be able to look at it with warm feelings every time the holiday rolls around in the years to come.

2. Personalized Christmas Cards

These are so easy to make that it just does not make sense that is why you should not make one! All you need is the most beautiful family picture and someone who makes cards professionally. The costs are very meager as all it needs is to digitally decorate your pic and set it on the card.

In fact, parents who are constantly clicking their little one can make most of those aww moments now by making photo cards. Do not forget to coin a wonderful inscription of Christmas greetings inside the card. You can write your own holiday poem, or a few lines of your story if you wish!

It is very easy. Just recollect the best memory with your baby (there are so many of them), and write it down with rhyme for poems and as lines as stories. Give the card to your guests. It promises to be a wonderful keepsake for all life!

3. Dressing For The Occasion

Dressing for occation

Of course, you would be buying special dresses for the baby. There are numerous options and online sites present amazing deals. The traditional Santa caps and jackets are always there. They are also warm and soft.

Do remember to avoid clothes made of synthetic fiber as they are uncomfortable. Cotton or woolen garments are simply the best. There’s one dress where they combine a shawl with a Christmas cap in a draped style. It is totally amazing for a toddler photo shoot. They would look like a tiny giggling Moses or Noah or someone from a cute Biblical time!

4. Going For A Family Trip

Christmas is totally the perfect day to set out for a family trip. The mood is a picnic! Plan a little ahead though. In fact, you should start planning right now, because while writing this, 25th December, is exactly a few days away! So, check out online for the closest places where you can go. One-year babies are too young to enjoy an amusement park!

In fact, it is not a very safe idea as well, to take a toddler on amusement park rides. All that speed and noise and motion can definitely make them nervous. Go for a natural retreat. Nature is never far away! It is just outside the boundaries of the city.

Parents in Bangalore can easily plan a trip to Mysore or those in Mumbai can visit the Ajanta caves once again! From Delhi, you can once again set out for Agra, and Kolkatans can also go to any of the many tourist spots around the city. Always have your camera with you. There will be many special moments!

5. Start A New Family Tradition

It does not matter whether you threw a Christmas dinner party every year or your husband spends Christmas evening playing board games with his cousins. There is newness, there is a new life. Your baby’s first Christmas is a perfect time to start a new family tradition, which will be on for a lifetime now. Make a ritual that is unique to you and your family.

Let the holiday season this year bless you with all the happiness of the Universe! You can definitely have other ideas besides the suggestions mentioned above for celebrating the first Christmas with your baby. The main idea is to enjoy the day to its purest fullest! Everyone always has their unique ways of making the day special!

Merry Christmas!!
