Ideas For Your Baby's First Christmas
If this is your baby's first Christmas, there are many wonderful
ways to make it Memorable. The most obvious of course is to take
many movies and still pictures of baby. Under the tree, in their
Christmas outfit, sitting with Grandma and Grandpa, visiting
Santa Claus and sitting with cousins among the Christmas
wrapping paper and ribbon.
The baby may be oblivious to the Holiday but you can't let it
pass by without buying wonderful things for your baby's first
Christmas. One Christmas gift that my son received on his first
Christmas now is the proud possession of his one-year-old
daughter. Furniture is a wonderful way to preserve the memory of
the first Christmas.
Books always make great gifts for babies. A few of the books
recommended are:
Goodnight Moon and Runaway Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown
Pat the Bunny by Dorothy Kunhardt
Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney
Any book by Dr. Seuss, children love the singsong rhythm of his
books.
Many greeting card companies also make special ornaments for
baby's first Christmas. It's a nice tradition to start a
collection of ornaments for your child when he is a baby, and
add one each Christmas. What a special memento for that child
when he sets up his first Christmas Tree and has all of his
personal ornaments to put on it.
Another favorite is a stuffed animal. It could play music or
just be a comfortable toy for the child to hold on to. This
first present could become a beloved companion for your baby.
You also might consider buying a special outfit with Baby's
First Christmas printed on it. Save it for the day that they
have their own special first baby Christmas.
There are so many things that can be personalized now for Baby's
first Christmas. You can personalize baby blankets, clothes, and
even clocks can be personalized with your baby's name and the
year of their first Christmas.
How about a personalized Christmas stocking for your baby? This
is something that could become a treasured possession for years
to come and can be passed down from one generation to another.
When buying Christmas gifts for your baby consider spending a
little more and getting something that will last through the
years. A baby's first train or doll that will remain with your
child for years to come is a wonderful reminder of baby's first
Christmas.
