Happy Holidays friends! As a first time mom this holiday season feels extra special. There are so many things I always dreamed of doing with my own kids. Now that I have Liam and he will be 9/10 months old during the holidays it’s such a fun age. He looks at everything in awe and I can’t wait to experience the holidays with him. Today I am share our holiday bucket list for babies first Christmas:
Holiday Bucket List: Babies First Christmas
Visit Northpark Santa that I saw growing up (we did this last weekend)
Decorate the house (we did this as soon as Andrew let me)
Drive around Highland Park to look at lights with hot cocoa
Take him to see “the bears”
Northpark trains
Pancakes with Santa at the fire station (we did this last weekend)
The big tree at the Galleria
Matching Christmas jammies on Christmas Eve
Baking cookies for Santa
Opening one gift on Chriastmas Eve
25 books of Christmas in December (we started this on the 1st)
Christmas jammies every night
Reading The Night Before Christmas on Christmas Eve
Monkey bread on Christmas morning
Holiday music ALL THE TIME
Adopting a family for the holiday season (done and done)
Take holiday baked goods to neighbors/friends/Liam’s NICU nurses
The first Christmas is so magical! This is a fantastic bucket list! A few of these items will definitely be making their way onto my holiday to-do list as well!
Aw! This is sweet. 🙂 My bucket list is pretty simple this year because I have a lot going on, but I do really want to go on one of those Tacky Christmas Light Tours — we have a couple in RVA and I’d like to finally take advantage of one. 🙂
How exciting for you – Christmas is magical especially Baby’s First Christmas !! Your son is at an age that he will love the lights
I used to Live in Dallas and have fond memories of taking my boys (now 28 and 32) to Highland Park and also Interlochen in Arlington, TX. Merry Christmas & enjoy every minute of Liam’s 1st Christmas
This year is my third’s first Christmas. She is only a few weeks old, so next year we will do more. But she has been tagging along to do all the other holiday things with my older kiddos!
I love this! I imagine having a baby around Christmas is the best – I know holidays are more exciting for me when I’m around my nieces and nephew (and I will be this year, so yay!!) I’d totally do the 25 books of Christmas if I ever have kids!
My only real goal at the moment is to get everything finished before Christmas Eve. This year, I want to spend that night with my family instead of wrapping and cleaning and whatever.
Sounds like so much fun! My son is almost ten months old and I am so excited for his first Christmas. I’m starting a tradition of him doing all our Christmas cards, so we’re using edible paint and he’s ‘decorating’ them all for me. We’re starting tomorrow morning! I’m wanting to take him to see the Christmas lights and to a Santa parade, but I think we’re busy when all the main events are on. Suck! I will definitely have to borrow some ideas from your list though – they are great!
I always set the goal of decorating the house and then there never seems to be enough time to get everything done. Hopefully I will at least get to put a wreath on the door.
Liam is one lucky boy for sure! His Christmas sounds super fun! ❤️

I remember babies first Christmas, sort of! Haha That was 15 years ago 😀 I feel old. I love that newness of experiencing Christmas with a little one!
Your holidays are going to be so fun. I like the 25 books of Christmas idea. That’s a great goal!
It’s so much fun to plan and do things for baby’s first Christmas! You’ve got quite a bucket list going there. 🙂
Celebrating a little one’s first Christmas is such a special time! This bucket list for your son is filled with awesomeness for sure.

We recently created our own Christmas bucket list. I see a few here I want to add to it.
