Having a baby will completely change the way you look at the holidays. There are a lot of things that will be much more fun than they were pre-baby, but also some things that will be a lot more work. You'll need to consider what your priorities are, so that baby's first Christmas is enjoyable, not exhausting.

  1. Buying a Christmas outfit. Dressing up your little one in an adorable Christmas outfit is something that many new parents look forward to. The best kind of Christmas outfit depends on the age of your baby. If you have a newborn, skip the frilly, ruffly little-girl dresses or three-piece matching outfits for little boys. All of those layers will just make diaper changes more difficult and will probably end up getting spit up on, anyway. Instead, look for a comfortable, warm (if you live in a cold climate) one-piece romper. There are many very cute styles for both girls and boys, and your baby will feel much better. If your baby is closer to a year old, you may want to think about a more formal outfit. Still, make sure it's comfortable, without any elastic that pinches or lace that could catch delicate fingernails.
  2. Pictures with Santa. Every new parent dreams of that first picture of their little one cooing at Santa Claus, complete with a storybook cottage in the background. Unfortunately, this usually doesn't happen. Unless your baby is very young and hasn't yet reached the stranger-anxiety phase, she'll most likely start screaming the moment she sees the big guy in the red suit. It's best to resign yourself to the fact that either you'll have to hold your baby while you have your picture taken next to Santa or you can have a picture of your baby screaming at Santa, instead of cooing.
