Ever since I found out I was pregnant with lil' Monkey, I have wondered what his first Christmas would be like. I really like Christmas. Not so much for the gifts and definitely not the shopping for the gifts (I used to like these things but now they're just not that important anymore), but rather for the festive lights, food and seeing people you generally don't see that often. And even though I have tried to dream about what his first Christmas would be like, I am having a hard time thinking of how it's supposed to go.
He loves our tree (shown to the right) in all it's bright blue glory (he's at that age where blue is a big hit)! And for family and friends on our mailing list, you'll be receiving a photo card of him in front of it (might still be in the mail -- as usual I procrastinated). So that's one part of the dream that I expected to come true and it has.
However, he's just a little guy and isn't really at an age where he can open or even appreciate the gifts given to him. But you've got to have the obligatory photo ops, right? Afterall, it's "Baby's First Christmas"!
So I wanted to ask the seasoned parents reading this post, to tell us your suggestions and/or stories about your baby's first Christmas.
