First holidays

• Go through your own baby pictures to see what kind of fun things you did, recreate them if possible with your little one.
• Go visit Santa, if your child is afraid, sit on Santa’s lap with them.
• Watch your favorite Christmas movies and listen and sing to your favorite carols together.
• Build a snowman and place your baby next to it holding a carrot! If you are not near snow, go find a place that does a snow fall and enjoy it without the frostbite.
• Buy a stocking and place them in it under the tree.
• Make molds or trace their little hands and feet.  Give them as Christmas ornaments.
• Be your own live nativity scene at a church.
• Make a home video about their FIRST Christmas.
• Create your own 12 Days of Christmas song with pictures and captions – 12 wet and dirty diapers, 11 quirky smiles, 10 steps taken, 9 foods tasted…5 hours of straight sleep…2 eyes gazing at the sparkling lights.
• Bundle up and take a walk around your neighborhood to see the lights and decorations.
• Wear matching pajamas.
• Buy or make a personalized ornament to mark the FIRST CHRISTMAS.
• Start your own holiday traditions and add to them yearly.
