However, when it comes to celebrating a Baby's first Christmas, there's just something extra special about that occasion. All of the above are still involved, but seeing your child experience it all with such an innocent sense of wonder is something that is amazing for every parent.
I absolutely loved celebrating Big Sister E's first Christmas when she was 2 months old...
...and then found the entire experience just as extraordinary two years later with Little Sister B's first Christmas when she was only 1 week old.
Although this year we aren't celebrating any first Christmases in our own family, I do have friends with new little ones and am excited to be able to be a part of their celebrations!

We take pictures around the tree.
Celebrating my daughter's 1st Christmas was interesting because she was more interested in the bows and gift wrap paper than the actual gifts. We also took lots of pictures to capture the moment!
our first Christmas with our baby girl (now 4 yrs old) was magical. We went to my parents house for Christmas and then to my in laws. She received many wonderful gifts & we have many pics of that Christmas. She has a few "Baby's 1st Christmas" ornaments:)

I love Christmas and celebrating with my family.
My daughter's first Christmas was pretty funny. She was really bewildered by all the lights and packages. The sound of the paper ripping sorta freaked her out.
We get together as a family on Christmas Day to open presents and spend time together.
We love to bake about 20 different kinds of cookies on christmas and deliver them to different families in town.
We brought my son to my brother's house for his first Christmas. He was only 3 months old but everyone enjoyed seeing him.

we took lots of pictures and enjoyed spending the day with her!
We made footprint ornaments, took lots of pictures, scrapbooked and videoed the event. My sons loved tinsel!
We celebrated with family and took tons of pictures
We just had our family come over to open presents and also had Christmas dinner together!
It was just my son, my husband and I, very nice and fun.
Both of my boys received a Precious Moments ornament to celebrate their first Christmas!

Christmas is now celebrated at my house with my precious granddaughter and my kids. As a widow it is kind of bitter sweet as I miss my husband very much and wish that he was here to be able to enjoy hiw first grandchild
My babies 1st Christmas was a joyous as he was born the end of August but was in the hospital for over 9 weeks so by the time Christmas came we were over the moon with our new baby. Of course he was too small to enjoy it but we enjoyed it all the same.
I have had 4 babies first Christmas'. Two of them were when the kids were almost a year old....and two of them was when the kids were only a month or less old. The ones that the babies were SO little were uneventful....but the ones where the babies were almost a year old was TONS of fun! Lots of playing in boxes!
Last year was my great niece's first Christmas but technically her second. Her first she was only 2 months old and we didn't really celebrate it being her first. This year my great nephew will have his first Christmas and he will be 11 months old so it will be more enjoyable to see :)
For my babies I bought them 1st Christmas ornaments and special Christmas outfits. My niece was so tiny on her first Christmas we put her in her stocking and took a picture. Love babies at Christmas.
We celebrated with a special My 1st Christmas ornament each from my Grandmother, my parents, and my husband and I. We also celebrated with first steps - our daughter walked on her own for the first time on Christmas Day of her first Christmas :)
the best Christmas was the year I could afford to buy my family Christmas gifts on my own.
We made sure to visit all of our family, making sure we took a ton of pictures so the memories would last longer.

buying for baby's first christmas can be so hard. We mark each one of my kids christmas with a special ornament to hang on the tree.
We traditionally gather around our Christmas tree for our family holiday portrait.

On my baby's 1st Christmas we took him to see Santa and took lots of pictures.
rounder9834 @yahoo.com
We bought each of our little ones a personalized ornament for their first Christmas and took LOTS of pictures!
My favorite part of the kids first Christmas is, there Gigi (great grandma) makes them their stockings!
For my son's first Christmas we decorate the house, made Christmas cookies and had a few small presents under the tree for him to rip open. Then we had a nice family dinner at Grandpa and Grandma's house:)
I celebrated my son's first christmas with a first christmas stocking and ornament,and I got him alot of presents.
the best Christmas was to buy my family Christmas gifts
We tried and waited so long to be parents, our daughter was just 5 months on her first Christmas but she was so spoiled and we started so many fun traditions that year (putting up the tree, going on walks to look at the lights). I also spent a lot of time nursing her by the light of the tree that first year.. it was so peaceful and precious to me.
1st Christmas was so much fun! We went all out!
made sure to get a pic with santa, took special professional photos, and bought a special ornament.
he bawled on santa's lap
Tons and tons of picutres, and all my kiddos had a special christmas outfit and ornament for their first christmas!
we spent my son's 1st Christmas in Hawaii!!
This is my daughter's first christmas and I got her an ornament and plan to take a ton of pictures
We took a TON of pics because after all it was a momentous occasion.
Our baby's first Christmas was filled with lots of adoring extended family and wonderful fist memories.
We didn't really do anything special!
we had special outfits for Christmas and took a ton of photos.
This will be my daughter's first Christmas.
My daughter was more interested in the wrapping paper then anything else.
Jessica Cox
we took pictures with Santa
I was still figuring out how to take care of my daughter- she was just 2 months old. But we did manage to get a tree up!
My babys first christmas is this year. We can't wait to see his face light up!
we took a lot of pictures but other than that it wasn't to much different as he was only a month old
The first Christmas is always a memorable one. I remember my first son's christmas, he ate his bottle the entire time we opened gifts.. and then proceeded to fall asleep!
Wasnt so memorable for him, but it was for us

well... it HAS been a while... but I DO still have Baby ornaments from all 3 of mine... This year, I'm hoping to have an ultrasound pic of my first grandbaby to add to the tree... but I'm not sure she's far enough along for that...
It was fun last year watching my best friend's great grand child have his 1st holiday with 4 generations of family.
Thanks for the contest.

we get first christmas ornaments.
my daughter got an ornament and stocking personalized with name and birthday.
we celebrated babies first Christmas with all 3 of my girls regardless of what age they were. We took lots of pictures and they each got a first Christmas ornament. All the grandparents and great grandparents were there so even if they are too youg to rmember we have the pictures to remind us of that special day.
We take pictures around the tree. Thanks so much for the fantastic giveaway!

Baby will be celebrating this Christmas in mommy's tummy, but next year will be an absolutely magical Christmas as this is our first.
We're hoping to have a great Christmas this year as we spend the next few weeks with my family and fly out to visit her family the day after Christmas and spend a few weeks with them. It will be the first time we've visited both families at Christmas
This will be my daughters first Christmas and I can't wait for her to see us and help decorate the tree as a family!!
My babies were only a few months old on their first Christmases, so they really didn't have any idea what was going on. We did take pictures, though.
Last year was my granddaughters first Christmas. She was bored with the whole idea of opening presents and of course loved the wrapping paper. But we got lots of great presents and this year she will be more aware at two years old.
We always put the kids in a wicker basket under the tree. They ranged from being a couple weeks old to 4 months so they loved looking at the lights and it put them to sleep.

I always get special ornaments for the babies first Christmas
I have no kids but I enjyed my niece's christmas with all the toys she got!
i always do photo ornaments!
I remember the happiness involved when children come into the picture. Wonderful feeling. We now have a 2 yr old granddaughter.
my oldest son was only 4 days old for his first Christmas!
My favorite Christmas tradition is wearing new PJs and eating cinnamon rolls while unwrapping the gifts.
I remember when I received my first bicycle when i was six years old.
I've had a few... the first was after my son passed away and that was horrid.
This past year when his brother was 10 months old was magical. The lights... to see it all through their eyes.
our son's fist Christmas was a quiet one since we just came home from the hospital the other day after he was born. We had a few family members visit but that was it.
For each child's first Christmas we made hand/foot plaster impressions nd turned them into ornaments.
For each child's first Christmas we made hand/foot plaster impressions nd turned them into ornaments.
It was a normal xmas for us. He was to young to know.
For all of our childrens first Christmas they get a special outfit and we take lots of pics
We dressed Tosha up in a Christmas outfit and my husband nicknamed her "Slobbers, the Christmas Elf."
I have 3 boys under the age of 5. The 2 oldest have my first Christmas bib, stocking, ornament, onesie or shirt. Now its time for the 3rd to get HIS!!!! He was born March 15 2013 so im alittle late this year need to get his=)
I love Christmas, especially decorating the tree!
My daughter's 1st Christmas she was only a week old. It was a great day!
I do NOT rememeber a lot anymore, not specifics, anyway.. it was a long time ago now for my first baby's Christmas!! We used to do Christmas Eve at my Grandmothers! And then, Christmas Midnight Mass, over night at my Mom's and feast all the next day too!
Ugh... last year our twin daughters were 3 months old and we live in Minnesota... and woke up on Christmas to a broken furnace and a 30 degree house.... yeah not fun =(
i was still taking my kids for pictures of santa when there were 12...lol
Our son was 3 months for his first Christmas so we had to prop him up with a pillow to 'open' his gifts.
We like to drive around the city and look at all the holiday lights.
I take tons of pictures, pictures with Santa. I also make handprints in dough, bake and hang on the tree.
This will be my grandson's first Christmas and we have a jumper for him and a first Christmas ornament. He will be so cute in his Christmas clothes!
Enjoying gathering with the whole family and everyone getting to hold the baby.
For our sons first Christmas it snowed, we made sure to take pics of them outside with snow in background!
we had a special christmas cake.
gabbflabber at live.com
We took pictures at the Christmas tree farm!
My daughter's first Christmas was when she was three months old and we drove 14 hrs. to Colorado for a family reunion (we had rented a vacation home in Estes Park for a special family Christmas reunion). It was a big road trip to take with a baby, but it was also such an amazing experience!
We have two granddaughters having their first Christmas and the other grandkids are great ages too. We will be celebrating together, cant wait!
dawnmonroe83@gmail.com
I don't have a child yet. My house doesn't do a lot for Christmas but spend time together and read the Bible.
Was a crazy present filled Christmas 27 years ago as she was only grandaughter on either side of family!!
We got together with my inlaws and opened presents and ate together.
Christmas with my step children 1st one was great i tried to make it the best they ever had
pattifritz2000 at yahoo dot com
thank you
He was starting to crawl and it was scary with a tree!
My granddaughter's birthday is on Christmas Eve so her 1st Christmas was spent in the hospital, but each one since then has gotten better & better!
No firsts for me yet, but I do like to give unique handmade "baby's first Christmas" ornaments as gifts (either from local craft shops/fairs or from etsy). I have a cousin that is going to be getting one for her son this year.
The excitement of the holiday, through the baby's eyes, is a great joy to me!
All my children had their pics taken on their 1st Christmas.
Taking a family photo yearly
we take a lot of pictures.
Everything we bought was baby's first xmas ornaments and toys clothes it was so much fun
My favorite memory of Christmas is playing rock band all day as a family! It was so hilarious and fun!
this year is my son's first christmas. i can't wait to see his reaction to the gifts and the excitement of it all
special first xmas ornament
We celebrated my daughter's first Christmas with a TON of pictures, presents and a first year ornament.
I have been lucky enough to be able to celebrate my own childrens first Christmas as well as my grandbabies
special first dolls, trucks, ornaments always a must
My son's first Christmas (last year) was memorable for unfortunate reasons, as he was 6 months old and my husband had just been diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy. We didn't really get the chance to start any fun holiday traditions given everything going on, but we are hoping to rectify that this year.
I remember all the new outfits with "Baby's First" on them.
This year is baby #3's first Christmas! I am so excited! We don't have any specific traditions for baby's first Christmas... We just try to always keep Christmas about Jesus! :)
We all open presents while wearing our new Christmas pjs.
My son was a month old his first Christmas. We always get a picture of them hanging up their first stocking, with help from Mom.
both my children are December babies, so their first Christmas they don't remember too well, but I had special ornaments made up of their hand and footprints that we still hang on the tree today.
My son's first Christmas will be this year and I couldn't be more excited. We just got his picture made with Santa and it is the most adorable picture ever. I hope all the new babies have a wonderful Christmas!
My daughter's 1st Christmas was more for us. She had no interest in opening the gifts. & once she got 1 toy, she wasn't interested in the others. Now that she's 2 1/2 she's finally getting into Christmas.
Last year was both my son and step daughters first Christmas! I should've just got them boxes and wrapping paper for all they cared about their presents!
My son's first Christmas was when he was 9 months old. He was still crawling and I remember chasing him over and over, trying to get a picture of him in front of the Christmas tree. Every time I would sit him in front of the tree, posing him just right, by the time I would back up enough to get a picture he was crawling away. I have a ton of pictures of just his foot or his head or a picture with just a tree and no baby...lol. :)
New Christmas outfits, ornaments and plenty of pictures.
My son was nearly 5 months old during his first Christmas, but because we lived cross country from all of our family and friends, they had never seen him in person before- so his first Christmas was also his first time meeting grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc...such a special Christmas for all!
We celebrated Christmas with 34 family members around our table. My baby will be born in Feb. so next year will be his or her first Christmas!
Our little girl was born in August. This is her first Christmas. I know at 4 mo, she'll be a little smal to really get excited about it. But she loves the tree and the lights and "dancing" to Christmas Music with us. :)
we did baby's first christmas last year and it was so fun! now this year she's almost 2 and understands everything more :)
cartwrightgrace@aol.com
I love doing handprints every Christmas since my first with my kids
I remember taking my daughter to see Santa for the first time. She balled her eyes out. :)
This is my first christmas as a mommy so this is all new to me!
We have a special photo ornament and took lots of pictures!
I love spending time with family on Christmas. Sharing a good meal together. Catching up on the year's events ...
We had to remove the ornaments from the bottom 13 of our tree because my son would not leave them alone!
I learned that to a six month old, a first Christmas involves more interest in boxes, bows, and ribbons than the actual gifts themselves!
That our son loved to take the ornaments off the tree and looked cute in antler headbands
We like to do first ornaments, dress them up in cute outfits and take lots of pictures.
Thank you for the chance to win this
My daughter hated santa but loved the wrapping paper and special treats on her first Christmas.
Our Son was only 10 months old for his first Christmas and our Daughter was 6 months. I do have a picture of our Son crawling towards the toys that Santa had left for his first Christmas. Our Daughter just had a new baby last week, so this Christmas will be extra special with a darling little baby to share it with. Thank you for the super giveaway opportunity. Keep up the terrific blogging.
My son had a my 1st Christmas outfit and got a teddy bear with the yr on it. He loved the wrapping paper :)
My boys all received something 1st year related but seemed to want the box it came in more.
My baby is having her first Christmas this year and then her birthday a couple days after. It's going to be exciting for her!
saw santa!
During my daughter's first Christmas she was only about a month old; but we started a tradition of getting her a special ornament for the tree each year.
My favorite is my daughter took her first step while trying to grab an ornament off our Christmas tree!
My first Christmas with my daughter was so much fun. She didn't understand the idea as she was only 8 months. She loved playing with the boxes and wrapping paper. I took some pictures of that and a short video.

I love the sense of wonder in a young child's eyes at Christmas!
I'm breaking the rules and not answering the question (sorry!)
That's because we don't celebrate Christmas. But we always take a picture of our baby in front of the menorah. That's the first we celebrate.
It was so much fun!!! All the family over and Christmas gifts everywhere for him!
I remember my oldest daughter's first christmas the most, perhaps because she was "my first" child :) she was dressed in a white fluffy dress, so so so cute! We took pictures in front of the fireplace. My second daughter, we had family over and talk about a mess of paper EVERYWHERE. As for my son, he was too little last year to enjoy his first christmas, but this year should be a better experience for him :)
We must have a million pictures celebrating our daughter's first Christmas!
My daughters' first birthday I took her to the mall and put her in all sorts of displays and photographed her. Those are some of my favorites!
Our babies first Christmas was pretty uneventful, she was only a month old, but she sure did look cute in her tiny Christmas dresses!

My son was only 2 months old for his first Christmas but now that he is 2 it is SO much fun! although trying to get him not to open other peoples things isn't too fun!
I do not have kids, but I love putting up and decorating the Christmas tree.

My grandson's 1st Christmas he was only 4 months old but he made it so very special...his baby brother will celebrate his 1st Christmas this year at 5 months old....we are so lucky!

I always loved celebrating Christmas with my family. I'm married now but we don't have kids yet. We are looking forward to creating our own traditions with our own family as it grows.
My family members all lived closeby so we had the biggest Christmas celebrations filled with lots of good food and family!
we got her a 1st christmas ornamant
My daughter was more interested in the wrapping paper during her first Xmas
Christmas is so much fun when you have young children. Especially their first Christmas when everything is "new" to them. Thanks for this contest.
We had lots of gifts, our folks over, and even someone dressed up like Santa there on their first xmas
This will be the baby's first Christmas so we're going to take a lot of videos and pictures.
