Whether they're hunkering down for a cold Christmas in New York City or enjoying the balmy holidays in LA, celebs and their tots are feeling the spirit of the season. Stars are bringing their littlest fans along during last-minute errands, trips, and excursions out on the town. Check out the slideshow to see what a few of our favorite lil faces were up to this week.

Holidays are just a bit harder to prepare for when you've got lil ones in tow. Celebs are carting around their shopping bags and their children, but despite the hustle and bustle of the season (and their star status), they still seem to be making time for the best gift of all: their kids.

The voiceover narration by Mary Alice for this week's episode of
Desperate Housewives talks about the theme of people living in darkness, though I think there's another theme here, having to do with the women of Wisteria Lane protecting their families. Gaby protected Carlos from discovering how bad things had gotten for them financially, Lynette is beside herself with figuring out how to protect Porter, and Bree tries to protect Andrew from getting hurt by his partner. And Susan.

While I thought this week's episode of
Desperate Housewives is pretty good, I really missed the recent guest stars (Frances Conroy as the wealthy Virginia Hildebrand and Lily Tomlin as Mrs. McCluskey's sister Roberta)! But overall this episode — all about the immediate aftermath of the fire at the club where Blue Odyssey was playing their first show — is better than most of them, in my opinion.

As the title suggests, in this episode of
Desperate Housewives the town of Fairview becomes a "city on fire." It starts out with a fire at the club where the Wisteria Lane boy band Blue Odyssey is performing. Then we travel back in time to the day before and as we learn about the various storylines, did you notice that each scene in that first part of the episode begins with some kind of fire (Susan sitting by her fireplace, Katherine making crème brûlée with that torch thingy, Anne's husband striking a match, etc.)?

Basketball season is underway, which means we're sure to see lots of celebmamas and papas taking their tots to Lakers and Knicks games galore. David Beckham treated his eldest son, Brooklyn, to courtside seats and a caramel apple. Other families spent the weekend jet-setting around the world.

"Desire. It's an emotion designed to lead us astray." This week's episode of
Desperate Housewives deals with an element that can be found in pretty much every single soapy episode: Desire.

Wee goblins were out in their Halloween garb on Friday night, but still managed to hit the parks and shops on Saturday and Sunday for some fun and retail therapy. Two famous families went to a Backyardigans event to fight malaria. Check out my slideshow to find out who they are!

While appearing on
Regis and Kelly to discuss her hit show
Desperate Housewives, Marcia Cross talked about her twin daughters, Eden and Savannah. She said: I'm so in love. Is it wrong to say "in love" I'm crazy for my girls!
