I don't think it is being deceptive to not tell them. Besides, alot can happen. Maybe when the time comes, you can explain the circumstances FIRMLY, without any attitude of guilt and give a week's notice. I don't think they feel any guilt about only using you for temporary help. "Good help is hard to find". If they keep hiring you, they must feel you are a good employee. Stuff comes up. It's perfectly legitimate!

If this is a place that you have worked for, for a couple of years then I would be honest with them.
Are you taking the whole month of December off or just a week?Maybe they will let you work up until the baby is born and then have some time off. I know it will be hard not having the money but if you tell them upfront then you will still have a job next Christmas, if you don't tell them then chances are they won't rehire you again next time.
Good Luck.

Don't feel guilty.. it isn't the first time something like this has been done. You need the income, and you would be leaving for a very good reason. Believe me, they have plenty of back-up people. Be with your wife .. until then work. Good Luck ! :)

They job should be understanding to your situation and if they are not then you should be grateful that you are leaving the job. If they are willing to accomodate you then they will let you come back when the time is right for you.

You need to think about what is best for your family - jobs come and go - and I am sure they will understand the connection and be willing to hire you again if you are honest when the time comes.

Sounds like you are just going to have to leave.
