Christmas with a new baby might appear idyllic from afar, but any parent of a little one knows it’s a complete circus. You have to come to terms with the fact that the bottom half of your Christmas tree will remain ornament-free for years to come. All your “nice” ornaments? They’re safely stashed away. Forget about those ornament hooks — they’ll only cause you stress. The few ornaments that do make it to the tree are likely dangling precariously or crammed into branches.
And that holiday photo with Santa? Good luck avoiding a meltdown! Capturing a family Christmas card photo? It’s unlikely anyone will be looking at the camera at the same time ever again.
The joy of Christmas with a baby is undeniable, but the days of perfectly curated holiday moments are long gone.
