He always carries his passport even when traveling in the US. I'll have to ship him clothes in Belgium. He had packed jeans because he was supposed to be in the lab all week crawling around computers.
If he does go I'll have him send DD a postcard. Do you want one from CA if he stays there?

That would be awesome! Thanks! She displays her postcards from her Postcard helpers at the fair.. She loves it!!

OH, no you'll have to ship clothes... urgh!

If I ship the clothes then I'll submit it for expenses but I'd rather do that than have him buy clothes there and then have to pay duties on then. Plus it's not exactly cheap in Belgium and I'd rather buy xmas gifts. The real stinker is I have to go buy a tree on my own. Blech! We usually cut one down but I may just buy one that is already done. Or, gasp, the horror, buy a fake one. He would kill me!

I didn't even think about the duties on the return clothes.. ugh!! Yep, mail 'em!
As for a real tree.. we can't have them w/ DS10's allergies... kicks his butt!
Poor little guy!
Fake for us.. although I love the smell of a real tree.. good thing for candles!

mistletoe from yankee candle is the best. it smells more like evergreen than anything else.

Of course they just informed him that he needs to go to Belgium tomorrow, ugh.

Wow, that sucks!

A couple of years ago I forced the fake tree thing. I got so sick of the tree staying inside till DH took it out. We always got a balled and wrapped tree...too heavy for me to move.

Now I ask the kids to get the tree from the attic, and I'm good to go... I don't miss the smell, and the added bonus is I don't get sick every year anymore. Here all these years I thought I got my usual Christmas cold, coughing, stuffy nose, etc, and who knew it was actually the tree all this time! Go Figure!
