With the new year underway, the Palisadian-Post is now seeking the first baby born to a Palisadian in 2025.
The tradition of honoring the baby born closest to 12 a.m. on January 1 began in the paper in 1954 and has been published since.
The winning family in 2024 welcomed a baby on January 2 at 7:01 a.m. It was a close call, as another baby was born on January 2 at 10:28 a.m., followed by the third closest baby on January 4 at 6:10 p.m. The year prior was a baby born on January 3, 2023, at 4:43 p.m.
This year’s contest is sponsored by Pacific Palisades Woman’s Club, Busy Benny, Sanctuary Spa at Palisades, Above Bar, tawnya, The Pump Station & Nurtury and The Gray Dragon. The winning family will receive a basket of prizes from the contest sponsors, including a handmade quilt, gift cards and more.
Families who welcome a baby in the new year are invited to email mypost@palipost.com with the date and time of the birth to be considered.
