If you are a first time mom with a newborn, don't expect to be able to do all of the chores you used to do during the holiday season (even if you used to enjoy them), like buying all the presents for everyone, wrapping, decorating, baking, etc. Just know that things will be a little different for you this year. You may feel conflicting emotions: frustration at not being able to do everything you used to do during the holidays (like going to parties), and gratitude for your blessed bundle of Christmas joy. However, you don't have to sit at home all day every day, either. There is a happy medium, especially if you have help from friends and family.
There is a wonderful article about how to enjoy more of the Christmas spirit with your newborn in tow. Happy Holidays.

I agree... my kids are getting a little older now 19 months and three- last Christmas Day I spent most of the holiday in the back room comforting my sobbing baby who unbenowsted to me had a double ear ache and four teeth coming in!
This year has been less frazzled and I am actually enjoying the preparations!
