A christening is always going to be a special event that brings all the family together. If it is around Christmas time, it is even more special. It’s a time for everyone to meet a new baby, celebrate its birth, and have a Christmas catch up as well.

Should you dress your baby in anything different if it is a Christmas christening? It isn’t particularly important – as the parent, you can make sure you baby is dressed in something you are comfortable with. If you want to give the outfit a Christmassy touch then you can, but you should choose anything you think will look lovely.

You may just want to make sure your baby is going to be warm enough, because it is a very cold time of year. You could choose any Christening gown you like and make sure the baby has a wrap, cardigan or jumper to keep it warm.
