Your baby’s first Christmas is a special time. It is a time to
celebrate the miracle of life and the joy a new baby can bring. There are many
commercially available ornaments for this once-in-a-lifetime moment.
There are also options for making ornaments to celebrate baby’s first
Christmas.
An ornament for baby’s first Christmas should be something that can be
passed down to the child when he or she is older, possibly to put on
the tree for your grandchild’s first Christmas. With this in mind, be
sure to pick a sturdy ornament that will endure the years.
Many options exist for homemade Christmas
ornaments for baby’s first Christmas:
- The booties that baby wore home from the hospital can be tied and
placed on the tree with a special message attached.
- A special snowflake or other cloth decoration made from the bunting
blanket that baby came home in is another option.
- Photos, placed in special hanging frames, make great first Christmas
decorations. These could be pictures of the whole family or special baby
pictures.
- A handprint or footprint can be a great decoration, as well. This
can be done in red and green plaster or using red ink on green paper,
or vice versa.
Almost every line of commercial Christmas ornaments includes a tiny
rocking horse, bear, stack of blocks, or resin baby bootie with the words
“Baby’s First Christmas” and the year printed on it.
Some specialty shops even offer dolls made to look like your baby.
They take a photo and shape the facial features and body shape to match
the baby. This could be shaped to fit as a
tree
topper, or made to hang from the tree. Decorations made by the guided
creativity of a baby can make special first Christmas memories.
The specific decoration is not as important as the memories that it
will create, and later represent. These memories are what make baby’s
first Christmas such a special one.
Whether purchased or created, the ornament should be a representation
of the special place your baby holds in your heart.
