My daughter is due about 3 weeks before thanksgiving but I have a feeling she is going to be late so she most likely will be 2 weeks old. We have already decided that we don't want to go anywhere for thanksgiving and will be staying home and are asking for no visitors. Only reason we are doing that is because we are first time parents and just want to relax with our family of three and rest in sure we will be exhausted and not up for entertaining or being around a crowd.

For Christmas she will be around 2 months and every year we host Xmas eve at our house since it's the biggest and there is about 35-40 ppl who come over so we have already said no we won't be doing Xmas eve at our house the In laws will have to find somewhere else for just this year and we are going to just go myself and my husband. We are leaving our daughter at home and my parents will watch her for a couple hours. Reason for that is we just aren't comfortable with her being around that amount of ppl in peak flu season plus we live in the northeast so it will be cold and since she is only 2 months we would rather not risk it. We are just more comfortable with small groups visiting when she is so young.

But honestly that's just us, not germaphobes or anything but we just didn't feel we're ready to expose her to that many people so young maybe if she was 5 or 6 months it would totally be a different story. 2 months for us is too young. But everyone is different so go with your gut.
