    I have to agree, that's pretty short term to immerse him that deeply into your family functions. It is a really nice gesture, and maybe you can find a way to divide your time to take care of family as well as make him feel special on a lonely holiday, I just wouldn't risk the relationship and mix the two.

    Well, in most of (Catholic?) Europe, Christmas is celebrated on the 24th of December. Why can't you have Christmas one day sooner or one day later for him? I suppose one day later will make it easier to arrange a babysitter. Leave your child with the parents, etc.

    Tell him the 26th will be the 25th, and invite him over for a nice dinner, exchange presents, etc., etc. You can buy a DVD of the Grinch and drink eggnog, etc.

    I would not try introducing him to your daughter as a 'friend', do not confuse the situation. after all, it has only been a month. and if it is going to last, you have plenty of time to meet kids and family in the future.
