I have concentrated on printing my HGP sheets yesterday, and will fill up the lists over the next week or 2. I am also going to jumpstart the playroom and kids bedroom this week, and the garden and au pair/spare bedroom over the following 2 weeks. (I need to sort "my" wardrobe in the spare room before the new au pair arrives - I can get at it when she's here, but not really go through it in detail, just change things in and out seasonally).
I updated my gifts spreadsheet yesterday, and I'll send an email to the siblings later this week to ask their opinions about whether to do secret santa and stockings this year, or not; and if yes, how to do the draw.
I intend doing a Rudy Day on Sunday 24th too, involving some crafts. As well as bringing DD somewhere for a fun outing before back to school.
