Newborn Christmas

[Teachermama]

He will be a month... he doesn't need presents to open right?

[hopecounts]

No but if you want wrap up an outfit/toy from his closet for him to 'open'

I'm only getting DS something because my 6-yo DD will wonder why Santa forgot her brother. I'm wondering if Christmas-themed jammies or the French language "happy new year" onesie I bought from JCrew will fit the bill or if Santa only leaves toys. Another possibility is a pop-up book that I bought for DD to read to DS.

[bluelikejazz]

We don't have plans to get anything.

I'm sure the grandparents will get tons of clothes for her since were team green.

If there's anything you'll need that you don't have yet (play mat, clothes, high chair, whatever), you could do something like that.

No, the baby neither knows nor cares.

[bowies]

DS is getting the things we didn't register for like a high chair, etc. And a shitton of toys from the grandparents. They cannot be swayed.

DD2 is only getting gifts so DD1 can watch her open something from Santa.

Exactly. I did the bogo toy deal on amazon today. Done.

My kid was 9 days old. I don't recall getting him anything. I'm sure my parents did, though.

[Odonata]

Nope. We don't plan do to any gifts here since she won't know better at only 2 months.

[arch01]

No. We brought DS home on Christmas and had no gifts. Heck, we didn't buy anything until he was 2 for Christmas. Everyone else was set on buying him gifts, so we let them have at it.

[Teachermama]

I am trying to sway everyone else to nor hey anything either... mom got him outfits and I talked her into a giftcard

[aqualuv]

No plans to buy him any gifts, he will be just shy of 5 months old. I'm sure the grandparents will buy him stuff although he won't know it.

[matildasun]

A was about a month old for her first Christmas. We did buy her a few small presents. We were in a hotel and used their tree which had some fake presents under it already. My mom and sister also sent some things.

[carfar]

I think I'll wrap his first Christmas ornament and stocking "for him", but nothing else. DS will be about a 6 weeks at Christmas.

[Teachermama]

My mom is being very first time grandmotherly. She bought him a stocking and an ornament... make I'll just let the g parents give him gifts and not worry about it. I gave him life... that should hold till 1st birthday at least

[scribellesam]

Filling a stocking (for my own benefit) with a few toys for when he's older. I think the only thing he'll be able to use right away is a wubbanub.

DS was 3 months old his first Christmas--I bought one gift so I could take pictures of him opening something for his book. He got plenty of stuff from everyone else (still does!!).

[redheadbaker]

We didn't buy him any gifts for his first Christmas (he was 4 weeks old). My parents bought him one or two, and my brother and SIL bought him one.

[azurely]

C will be just over a month old at Christmas. I'm buying him some Sandra Boynton books that I'll wrap, but that's it. I know my parents and ILs and a few other family members will buy him gifts, but like others said, he's too little to know the difference and we don't have any older siblings to worry about, so we aren't doing much.

[nessness]

I got her a "baby's first Christmas" ornament but nothing else, and I'm not even sure I'll bother to wrap the ornament. Seeing as she (a) won't know or care and (b) isn't really capable of opening a present, I don't really see the point. I'm sure some family members will get her things though.

[Deleted]

Obviously you need an Amazon Wishlist.....

No really DS was like 6 weeks old & I bought him tons of crap because I dealt with PPD by shopping.

Bit really just a few things are necessary.

[dragonfly08]

My kids got an ornament (they get one every year from me) and stuff like board books, sippy cups, bottles and nipples, pacifiers, and other little necessities their first Hanukkah/Christmas. It was all stuff I'd have ended up buying around that time anyway, and this way they could play with the wrap and boxes which at 3-4 months old was all they cared about.

[MadamePresident]

I'm getting a new diaper for Ace's Christmas gift.

[undecidedowl]

DS2 will be 2 months and is getting things like pacifiers, bottle nipples, teethers, and a paci holder in his stocking. Maybe a play mat from Santa since DS1 is excited about Santa.

This is exactly why A will be getting something from Santa. So L doesn't think he was forgotten. 

[D2M]

Between gifts and hand-me-downs, I haven't bought much of anything for DD, ever, so I'm using Christmas as an excuse to buy her unnecessary cute outfits and maybe a toy like a walker or a drum. She'll be almost 7 months by then.
