If you are not drinking, but instead are overcome by extreme fatigue (like most women in their first trimester) or you're running to the bathroom to throw up all the time, keeping your secret is hard.

Say that you are sitting out your Christmas at home in case labor starts or your water breaks is something nobody is going to blame you for. How to enjoy being pregnant at Christmas if you are going to a party? Simply said, if you love Christmas, it might be even better this year.
