The Best Way to Celebrate Your Newborn’s First Noel

Wrapped in swaddling clothes. If your church holds a Christmas program or indoor live nativity, volunteer to provide the “babe wrapped in swaddling clothes,” along with Mary and Joseph. A real baby adds depth to your church family’s festival and will make a impressive experience for your family, too, with little effort required on your part.

Not quite up to going out? Rebuild the scene of that very first Christmas on a smaller scale, certainly, in your very own home. Preferably, have a friend video record or photograph your portrayal to add to baby’s scrapbook.

Keep the spiritual meaning living every year by making the family nativity a Christmas tradition. Bring the family together at the beginning of the holiday period and watch the video together to set the tone for your holiday celebrations.
