Paul, replace the battery in your alarm clock!
Generator sub panel, you need water and heat with kids when the power goes out. 2 sources of heat with different fuel sources, you will have an issue with your fuel supply or furnace....someday. A couple dedicated outlets at the front corners of the house powered by a commercial grade timer at the panel for Christmas lights. If you do icicle lights, you can have an outlet put in the soffit from the same timer. Are you window candle people? I've installed "the window candle package" in new houses. It is a single circuit that is run to a receptacle under each window in the front of the house, all controlled by a switch next to the front door. It allows you to turn all your window candles on/off all at once.
Our old house had door switches in the door jams of every swinging-door closet, open the door, light goes on, close the door, lights goes off. I miss them. Don't put in gfi breakers (unless required by code), put gfi's at point of use. That is unless you don't mind being called in from the garage to go downstairs and reset the gfi because your wife is elbow deep in another culinary masterpiece.
Personally, I think double receptacles everywhere would look silly. I get behind the couch or bed, but install a central vac or receptacles just inside the door of each room for vacuuming. If you are putting in ceiling lights in the bedrooms, install a fan box and 3-wire from the switch to box so you can control the fan/light separate (even if you're not installing a fan, you might could one day).
