One couple had a more unexpected present than most people this year with one baby arriving five weeks early.
Luke and Lynette Edwards' new arrival Chloe came five weeks early with a little help from midwife Debbie Hunt who delivered Lynette's previous child.
Other parents who celebrated a new arrival on 25 December included father Keith Packwood with his new son Ralph.
Rob and Lenka Devereux celebrated the arrival of baby Bethany.
And proud grandma Marcia was one of the first on hand to welcome baby Lucas Conselheiro into the world.
