It really depends on what stage of life you're in. I'm not married or even done school. Nobody's expecting me to have a baby! Although the little ones are cute with their reaction to the Christmas spirit.

Babies scare me regardless of the time of year.

No, no, no. I'm with Fallen85. Love other people's babies, glad for friends who are pregnant, but the idea of me being pregnant is scary at this point in my life.

I can see why if you want one at that time in your life!

I'm not sure why the holidays would make me want a baby more. If anything, it makes me want them less. You have to pack them up and all their stuff everywhere you go. Everyone wants to see them so you have to haul them everywhere. Buy them presents, deal with it if they are disappointed with presents, etc. Even though I LOVE them. Hopefully it will seem like a better idea when I'm with the person I want to have them with. And they are cute when it comes to Santa.

didn't answer the quesiton...um I have 2 kids already but I do get baby fever around christmas time seeing all the cute outfits and making the family bigger. But hells no I ain't having another one for a looooooong time...

not yet! i'm sure eventually it might trigger something, because i love babies, but not yet!

I have one and that is enough!!!

For me holidays actually have the opposite effect!

Nope. We've been married for several years, and have all the trappings to have children, but we're child-free by choice.

if anything this time of they year makes me NOT want to have kids even more...

What a strange question.

No, it does not make me want to have a baby. I am not ready, not married, and no one wants that for me anyway. I can see how the holidays would make you want to have a baby. Sorry to say, but if it took a bunch of kids around, and seeing other family members having fun being pregnant, and getting loads of stuff because of it to make you want to have a baby, then you are probably not having a baby for the right reasons. Envy can make people do really stupid things. So can sentimental times, books, or movies for that matter. One Dr. Phil show, and some people become the f*ckin Virgin Mary part 2. Really, if you don't want kids when it is not the time to attention wh*re it -- then you probably don't want kids.

Good Lord no! Why, does it do that to other people!?

christmas definitely makes me want to cuddle my own little cutie in a baby-sized santa suit, but common sense says wait a few more years...

lol 356, I don't know what it is. but somehow babies r us got my address and sent me a catalogue of cute kids in reindeer outfits and I started thinking, hmmmm.....

no. we want a baby but wanted one just as much before the holidays.

Actually I think a 2-7 year-old on Christmas has to be really nice but I'm way to young maybe when I'm 28 and it's holiday season I'll think it would be nice to have one.

No, I certainly am not in the wanting of a small child.

Maybe to borrow, to give a few crazy family members heart attacks, but that's about it.

Ummm...no. That is a weird question.

Sometimes I think about it when I'm around my two nieces and nephew, but when a LOT of kids are around, and the parents aren't minding their children, and the kids are jumping on other people's furniture and poking holes in the food with their unwashed fingers...I start thinking I'm still not ready. Even though I'd never condone that sort of thing.

No, and they never have.

not at all.
like some others said, it probably makes me want one less with all the hassle of trying to enjoy ur time with others but ur baby is crying/tired/sleepy/running around/sick/needs to potty etc etc.
i do enjoy the opportunity to play and dote over other kids though

I happen to be pregnant right now (just got home from telling my grandparents actually) but it had nothing to do with the holidays.

I don't want kids ever.

I always thought i never wanted to have kids, but I don't if it's my biological clock ticking or maybe I'm just in love;)(I've been thinking about how it would feel to have a baby)

I want to have a baby off and on all during the year, but the idea of having a child who can experience the holiday season does have an effect. I'm 25 and married, so I'm hoping to have one in the next three years or so. Waiting for financial reasons.

Nope! Can't stand kids.

I love kids and all year round I want a baby.

I absolutely love children. I'd love to have one, I just need a good man!

"Babies scare me regardless of the time of year." LoL Fallen, you just reminded me of Chucky...babies scare me too. Although Winter does make me horney

I think I feel this more when I'm around my other girlfriends who have adorable babies and see how much joy they bring them. It doesn't hurt that they are so stinkin cute either.

I just had a baby 3 weeks ago and am ready to start planning the next one.

How funny. The first thought that occurred to me was, "eww." No offense to people with babies but I don't want children yet and the holidays certainly don't influence me.

yes and no. It would be nice to have a little one to spoil and buy tons of crap for, but at the same its nice to be able to go about my business without the added stress of a crying hungry baby! lol. Though the other day I was shopping and I saw the cutest pregnant lady and it really kicked up the urge.

I realise it does sound a bit weird - but honestly, yes! Not so much a baby, even, but young children. There's something absolutely magic about certain moments at Christmastime when you have young children around.

Having said that, I'm single and in the process of PhD study. I should probably remind myself of the less magical moments, like when the children are hyped up on sugar and throwing "I want that!" tantrums in the middle of the supermarket or shopping mall, and enjoy my grown-ups only holiday season!

Wild Magelet-or when they start fighting over who got the better present. lol. That was pretty much an every year occurance with me and my sisters.

I'm with Fallen. Babies are yucky...no matter when. I'm never ever ever ever ever ever having kids! 8-/

356UIK:"Good Lord no! Why, does it do that to other people!?"
LMAO, hahahah, agreed.

1)They cry and scream a lot and take your attention away from catching up with family.
2)You have to feed them and miss time feeding yourself.
3)You have to leave early to put them to bed.
4)You spend more money buying them presents.
5)They are super scary and might attack at any moment, especially when there are lots of them in large groups during holidays.
6)I think y'all get the idea....

Allourregrets: I saw a cute pregnant lady too. I always feel so bad for them waddling around for the Christmas shopping. (No offense to anyone that is pregnant! I long to be myself!)

The season does make my baby senses tingle, but they are in high drive ever since I went off my BC pills. >_

Hahahaha NO.

I like kids, but I am in no position to have one. Even the fuzzies of the holidays and the fact that I know 4 women my age who just had babies can't ward away the reality that it would be massively irresponsible and near financially impossible to have a baby right now.

I think if I *did* get pregnant now, everyone I know and their mom would FLIP out in the worst way possible.

Kids are SCARY LOL.
But y'know what, 2 of my friends just announced that they're pregnant..again. Whoa!!
My fiancee joked to me, it's probably due to the bad economy, people don't go out as much so they stay home and make whoopee more often than not LOL.

god no!
like some of the other ladies have said, it's about where you are in your life.

For me, I'm single, I'm not working full time, I'm studying... sure, one day I want a baby, but it would be 100% irresponsible of me to decide to have one now, haha!

Christmas does not make me think about babies at all!

I'm not a big baby person in the first place ( prime puke and spit up machines, ick) and I'm in the prime of young adult years (being 19) and every year around the holidays no matter how much I mature, the same thing happens--I cringe at the sight of babies and young children and hate them even more than normal. Some people love the spit up and "Mommy, I want this! I want that! Mommy, can we get that one now?!?!?!?" and the screaming and battling their kids into the cutest little winter outfits, but I just can't handle it! The screaming, temper tantrums, pushing, pulling and dragging are the worst, especially in the store.

I always want to have a baby anyway. I can't wait to have a family...

I'm with those that say the Holiday's have the opposite effect. This time of year can be very financially grueling with trying to take vacation, travel and buy things for others. All of those financial stressors only make me feel less equipped to have a child.

Oh hell no. Kids are annoying enough the rest of the year and the holidays make them even worse.

I think I'll wait until I'm at least 30 to think about that

I want a baby now! but its not cause the holidays!!

NO!!!! If anything it makes me not want to have one at all! I hate hearing about other people's kids all the time, as if they are the most amazing thing on the planet..im just over babies right at this moment!

Actually the opposite... I like to drink at all these parties This is when I am glad I don't have one yet.

" I hate hearing about other people's kids all the time, as if they are the most amazing thing on the planet.."

they are..to that parent!

and who the hell said "eeww"..honestly people....
