Put a present under the tree, Santa... a baby! Other families come around for the festival of lights while other families complete their Christmas lists with the latest technology. However, a family expecting a new baby this month might just be trying to savor their last few quiet nights! Parents expecting in December are dealing with a lot of changes during a hectic time of year, so let's focus on the good stuff! Here are seven interesting facts regarding December infants.
Fun Facts About December Babies
1. A Rare Red Bow
It's quite unlikely that you'll give birth on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Parents are more inclined to CONCEIVE their children during this time of year because of the rush and bustle and overall feeling of closeness. Those are two of the most uncommon birthdays! So, even if your child reaches an age where they feel overshadowed by the festivities of December, you can tell them that they are unique. They were your present, wrapped in a beautiful red ribbon!
2. Even-Keeled Kids
This is certain to bring a smile to the faces of December-born babies' mothers. December babies are more even-keeled than other months. "Those born in the winter were significantly less prone to irritable temperament than those born at other times of the year," according to a study published in The Atlantic. These children may exhibit more patience and less frustration, as well as being less irritable overall. This means you may have a kid who fits in naturally and tends to go with the flow. If this is your first child, still don’t let it fool you. You know what they say about that second child! We have no way of knowing if this information is proven true – but we hope it is for your sake. Either way, we’re sure they will be a fabulous kid!
3. Time for Narcissus and Holly!
Your new December baby will have two flowers representing their birth month, the Narcissus and Holly. The Narcissus flowers come in a range, but December is specifically represented by the Paperwhite, which grows in winter. It’s a cute little flower with a yellow center and six paperwhite petals. It represents love and being true to yourself and the one you love. According to Farmers Almanac, paperwhites show that you want your beloved to “stay just the way they are.
4. A Gorgeous Trio
The beauty comes in threes this month! Well, in birthstones. Unless you are an expecting triplet mom! December babies are represented by three gorgeous stones: zircon, tanzanite, and turquoise.
Zircon is a naturally occurring stone that can be any color of the rainbow – its most common form is a burnt orange earth tone, but its most popular color is the vivid aqua blue. Zircon, not to be confused with cubic zirconia, is a bright, dazzling gemstone from the Asian countries of Thailand, Cambodia, and Southern Vietnam. Legend says wearing zircon will give you relief from pain — a helpful stone to have during your postpartum time! Additionally, zircon is known to enhance appetite and provide protection to travelers.
Tanzanite is a rare stone, only found in some regions of Tanzania. Because of its rarity – and deep blue color – it is a coveted stone. It’s used to be considered magical, detoxifying the body and bringing its holder to a higher level of consciousness. It sounds like a great stone to have on hand during your postpartum healing!
Turquoise is a funny stone to symbolize a winter month because our minds tend to think of summer and deep blue waters. But, it represents good fortune and hope. We all need to look for these traits in the coming new year, so maybe December is a perfect time to incorporate turquoise. Your new baby will embolize everything this stone does, with its association with enduring love. Perfect!
5. The Archer and The Ram
Your December baby will fall under one of two signs in the zodiac. If they are born in the beginning half of the month, between the 1st and the 21st, they will be Sagittarius. Sagittarius babies are fire signs – loyal, independent, and authentic. They are highly intelligent, and that’s why they do just fine on their own. Their sign could work against them, using their independence to lead themselves into the fire. But, there are safe ways to let them be their own leader!
If they are born after the 21st, they will be Capricorn. Capricorns are earth signs, which means they are truthful, determined, and can be stubborn. They will be serious about completing tasks and would make great athletes. The Ram sign could be hardheaded during toddlerhood, but they will always find a way!
