Celebrate Your Newborn’s First Noel this way

Enjoy the eve. Spending Christmas Eve mutually at home allows you to focus on the quieter facet of the holiday and what really matters. Hang a stocking with care and fill it with an ornament for each member of the family. Put the family stocking at the top of next year’s list of must-do customs by surprising everyone with an ornament that reverberate something you’ve done together during the previous year.

Before heading off to bed, share the Christmas story by candlelight. As Dad reads the story and Mom nurses baby, you’ll experience a distinctive closeness and joy that you’ll want to recap again and again.

So, if the usual vacation havoc has you thinking your newly extended family will have to put the celebration on hold, think again. And make your newborn’s first Noel one you’ll all want to memorize for years to come.
