Baby’s first Christmas is often filled with such love and wonder. It is the perfect occasion to being building traditions to last a lifetime.
A great way to mark the first Christmas milestone is to begin a tradition of giving the child an ornament each Christmas. The ornaments can be holiday-themed or be given to remind the family of something special about the year.
(My two boys will be getting ornaments from the movie Cars, which was the first movie they ever watched. We saw it on a family vacation and they were obsessed with it for the rest of the year.) When the child grows up and moves out, she will have a set of ornaments from each year of her childhood.
There are a lot of very unique ornaments that can mark the holiday. Here are a couple of my favorites.
Baby Girl Stocking Ornament: This glass ornament is hand painted and then decorated with glitter and ribbons. Bright and festive, it is a great way to celebrate a little one’s first holiday season. Available for baby boy as well. | $24
Holiday Ornaments by Beehive Kitchenware Company: Handmade of lead free pewter, this partridge, tree, and pear would all make beautiful additions to any tree and should stand up well over time. | $16.50 - Sara I.

As someone who ate an entire glass ornament as a toddler (with no ill effects for me, but serious psychological damage for my poor mother), I’d personally encourage people to create a tradition on non-glass ornaments for their children. Or at least hang them very high on the tree!
