Celebrate Baby’s First Christmas with Babies “R” Us {Giveaway}

This post is the opinion of the Experimental Mommy.  While a sample was received to facilitate this post, all opinions remain 100% mine.

When Hurricane Katrina flooded our home in August of 2005, my first daughter was just 6 months old.  The weeks that followed were challenging to say the least as we struggled to rebuild our home, our City and our lives.  As a first time Mom, I was determined to have my baby girl’s first Christmas at HOME.

My husband and I worked tirelessly to make our house a home once more.  On Christmas Eve, the dream became reality.  Our house was bare boned with just floors, walls and a Christmas tree, but we were home…finally.  I will never forget day which was special in so many ways.

  26. My favorite holiday family tradition is decorating our tree. For those few hours we turn on Christmas music, drink apple cider, and eat cookies.

  30. I love being with the family and Christmas eve services are my favorite. I see so many comments about food and that made me think. My husband is having issues with weight and blood sugar levels – as a family we seriously need to lighten up on our traditional menu. I’m thinking we need to create new memories that are not so centered on food.

  33. our favorite family tradition is on thanksgiving, we each go around the table and say something we are grateful for.

  41. Oh so many! Going to our city parade and holiday stroll, then we go look at Christmas lights through a neighborhood that raises donations for Hospice. Making a day of Christmas shopping with my mom and sister.. we go out ALL day, shopping and eating, so much fun! Hosting a cookie exchange. And Christmas Eve – traditions with our entire extended family that includes a white elephant exchange with a different theme each year (handmade/homemade, only as seen on TV gifts, etc) … giving my kids their Christmas Eve gifts – pajamas, Christmas video, a snack and reindeer food!

  48. This is my daughter’s first Christmas, and I am looking forward to doing many things, and creating new traditions. I am going to take her to the big light show at the zoo

  56. I like going out with my family to look at Christmas lights displays while listening to Christmas music.

  57. We play the dice game (some people call it Dirty Santa) every year with all of our family members. It’s so much fun and gets crazy competitive – lots of great memories!

  69. our favorite holiday tradition is making Christmas sugar cookies & decorating them w/ sprinkles & frosting!

  75. I give my kids a Christmas Eve box filled with Christmas pajamas, a movie, a snack and other fun Christmas related items. It gets them all excited for Christmas morning.

  97. We spend Christmas Eve at my Grandparents house, opening gifts from each other, and Christmas day we get together for Christmas dinner

  100. Making something for Santa on Christmas Eve. We usually make something different each year because the girls say he gets tired of cookies. Thank you!

  102. Oh one of my favorite traditions is one we do Christmas eve after the kids are alseep. We give them each a Ruldoph Kiss! We put a small red lipstick mark on each kids hand during the night and in the morning they get so excited to see that Rudolph gave them a kiss during the night!

  114. we usually blend our cultures on Christmas Eve with tamales at midnight and toutiere pies later on, followed by either a ham or turkey for a later holiday dinner .

  124. We live in Nashville, so we love to go see the Christmas Decorations in the atriums at Opryland, right next to the Grand Ol’ Opry. It’s so relaxing, and so beautiful! And free!

  132. Our favorite tradition is making cookies and hot chocolate and gathering around the tree on Christmas Eve to read the night before Christmas.
