CHRISTMAS is a special time for all - but even more magical for those who will be celebrating their first this year.

We have asked parents from Carlisle to Whitehaven and everywhere in-between, many will have welcomed a new member of the family in the last year.

Here are some of the lovely pictures we have brought together from the area where our lovely Times and Star readers live.

Whether it's a new-born or almost one-year-old, we asked readers to share photos of their baby getting into the spirit of their first Christmas.
