I have to send the Christmas package for my family in Germany soon as well as the one for my friends in Italy. I just can't come up with ideas on what to give them! I thought about making a calendar with pictures from Alex for my parents, but haven't even started that yet.
Have you all started your Christmas shopping yet? Only 7 more weeks! Holy crap.

Re: Christmas shopping
I've started shopping for DD when I see things ridiculously on sale. So far she has a train table on wheels that will slide under her bed, a trunk filled with dress up clothes and accessories, and a huge Disney Princess arts and crafts kit filled with all sorts of goodies.
My expat group hosts a huge craft sale in a couple weeks that draws local crafts people from around Scotland. I plan on doing all my Christmas shopping there for family back in the States.
For grandparents this year, we just had a photographer take professional family pictures. Our plan is to give our families some of these pictures too. I cannot wait to see how they turned out!!

We really only buy for the kids in the family & the parents (mine & DH's), but no, we haven't done anything yet. Heck, we still haven't done a single thing for the new baby's nursery yet either. It is still a guest room.
I've been eyeing up toy catalogs though, trying to make a mental list of the bigger things I for sure want to get DS. Also thinking of his bday party.
I sure am glad we decined to host Thanksgiving or Christmas this year. Just WAY too much going on! Part of me really wanted to because I make a mean turkey (<toot><toot> my own horn there. ) but I'm just too exhausted.
