• Baby's first ornament. Nothing is more special for kids as they grow older than hanging their first Christmas ornament on the tree. You can purchase a ready made baby's first Christmas ornament, or you can choose to make your own as a fun DIY project.
• Baby's first Christmas stocking. Whether you buy a stocking that is already made specifically for baby's first Christmas or make one yourself, this is a fun keepsake that will allow you to remember this special time. There are tons of great stocking patterns online that even those moms and dads with little sewing skills can make easily as a fun holiday project.
• Baby's first Christmas attire. There are so many cute holiday outfits on the market that bear the words "baby's first Christmas." These can be cute little rompers for young babies or more elaborately designed outfits for older babies. This is the perfect Christmas outfit for having baby's picture taken for your holiday greeting cards, and is ideal for outings during the busy holiday season.
• Baby's first Christmas photos. Be sure to take tons of photos during the holiday season to chronicle baby's first Christmas. When the holidays are over, you can purchase special holiday picture frames for framing these memories, and then display these photos every year alongside new ones during the Christmas season. You can also purchase a digital picture frame that you upload your digital photos to so that you can share your holiday shots with your coworkers and friends.
• Celebrate by giving. Many families choose to celebrate their first child's Christmas by giving to their favorite children's charities. Some good ones to consider include the Children's Health Fund, the Make a Wish Foundation, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

It is also important during this time for you to remember that baby is still very young and he or she will not care if you don't have a lot to spend on gifts. Chances are good that baby will enjoy the bright ribbons and colorful wrappings of the season more than what is found inside the box. For that reason, don't worry about not being able to afford the biggest and best gifts. This is a special time for togetherness for your family, and there is no price tag that can be put on the memories that you will make as you celebrate the holidays with your new little one.
