Sarah, what about a family pic this year? If you have a tripod you could set the timer on your camera. The pose can be somewhat simple, DH holding Zander up whilst he puts the star/Angel on the top of the tree and you stand also putting a decoration on.

Or you could photographer DH holding Zander putting the star/Angel on and then crop DH out if you just want Zander in the pic.

Or Zander "shaking" a box under or near the tree.

Or Zander offering a teeny wrapped pressie to your bare belly (if you have a bit of a bump this would work even better ). Would look very cute if Zander was wearing a Santa Hat.

What about Zander peeking out from behind the Chirstmas Tree?

Someone mentioned unposed pics - you could use several of Zander helping to decorate the tree and then have one of him with the finished tree in the middle - kind of like a "work in progress" photo.

Do you have somewhere you hang stockings? You could have one of Zander hanging his stocking "with care".

If you have a little table you could set up the Christmas tree and have the table in the same frame and have a pic of Zander setting out milk and cookies for Santa.

Or you could have an overdramatized (i.e. big envelope with big clear writing) envelope addressed to Santa and take a pic of Zander "posting" it. Added bonus, if you send it to the official Aust Post address set up for Santa, he'll get a reply!

HTH and looking forward to seeing the final result!
