You first winter holiday with your bundle of joy is so special. Even though they aren’t able to tear into the gifts and treats quite yet, you will want to make lasting memories with them! Even if they don’t remember, you will! Holidays should be memorable no matter the age you are celebrating with your children. Here are my top five ways to make baby’s first holiday season memorable!
Traditions
Whether you have a long standing family tradition that goes back for generations, or are starting a new one this year. You need to find a way to incorporate it into your babies first holiday! You could having your baby in a carrier while you decorate cookies, or sing them the holiday songs you grew up listening to. By starting to include you baby this early you will create lasting memories and be reminded of their first holiday every year as you continue in those traditions.
Matching Pajamas
To make your babies first holiday memorable you can always jump on the classic matching PJs trend! So many families do this every year and honestly, it is a lot of fun! You can have a theme of a color or classic Christmas movie. Or you could could get the exact save pajamas for everyone, just in different sizes. This is something that you can do every year and collect annual memorable pictures together.
Holiday Nightly Routine
Having a baby you learn that the night time routine is everything! But maybe just once a year you can mix it up and add a bit of holiday cheer to your babies nightly routine. This could be as simple as new bath toys that relate to your holiday, or reading a holiday book. Or you could make it as elaborate as opening a present ever night for a week or two. Whatever you decide on, this is sure to make your baby’s first holiday memorable.
Date Night With the Lights
A beloved holiday family tradition for so many families is going out and looking at the Christmas lights. To make your baby’s first holiday memorable you could plan a little date to see the lights! After dinner and bath time, strap your baby into their car seat and take a drive. You and your significant other could bring hot cocoa and cookies to snack on while your baby naps in the backseat. This is a simple way to get some quiet time as a family, as well as bring on the Christmas cheer!
Family Photos!
Of course the best way to make your baby’s first holiday memorable is to document it! I love photography because it is a way to take a moment in time and make it last forever. By having your family photos taken during the holidays you will be able to freeze time and relive those wonderful memories for years to come.
