There are endless ways that we commemorate our babies’ firsts--a tiny box of hair, an album of photos, carefully taken notes in a baby book, vaccuum-sealed outfits and blankets to passed on to your children’s children. Baby’s first Christmas is not unlike any of those other firsts--we want to remember it and what it meant to us and baby. So, what better way to mark your baby’s first Christmas than with a stocking knitted in love? Pass it on generation after generation, baby to baby, filling it with first after first little gift for that new member of your family.
