This probably isn't the most original idea but when I was a baby my parents had a pic of me with a big red Christmas ribbon tied around my middle with a bow, lying under the Christmas tree like a present. I am hoping to do something like that with Noah this year.

DH's fantastic idea last year was to dress DD like Baby New Year. We put her in a diaper, bought a cheapie hat at a party store, and I made a sash out of crepe paper and some new year's decorations (also from the party store). We got TONS of complements on the cards.

Great idea! I might have to steal this too.
We are going to buy her a santa hat. I already bought her a knit christmas dress. Hopefully we'll get a few pics that we like. If not, we have a couple of her on the back that are good.
I got DD a cute hot pink knitted hat (with the long braided pigtail looking tassels) to wear with her diaper, and some hot pink and lime green xmas (garland) beads to wear. Then I got some black poster board and cut out the letters J-O-Y. I'm going to take pictures of her (in the house of course) holding each letter and then do a photo card that has 3 pictures on it (1 for each letter). I figured even if she held the letter upside down, it might make for a cute picture. I'm just gonna let her do whatever she wants with each one (hold it over her head, etc.) and then pick 3 that I like. I plan on putting her on a white sheet, and also got a hot pink miniature tree skirt to let her sit on if that will work (and some pink and green presents to sit around her maybe). If I don't like that, I'll just dress her in something Christmas-y and give her the letters.

Aww that sounds cute!

Sorry I don't have anything more creative.
