Our family tradition has been the day after Thanksgiving we pull down all the Christmas stuff out of the attic/garage and decorate.  This year the kids really took it and ran with it.  Mark was still laid up with his hurt knee and I was busy working at the hospital.  They did a great job decorating and making it feel like Christmas was coming.  As for this little man...he loved it!  He is finally old enough that he got into the decorating and Christmas spirit.  He could not stop adding decorations to the tree (of course only in the small area of the tree he could reach).  I finally had to put away the extra because he wanted ALL the candy canes and ornaments on the tree.  It did keep him busy for hours (then mom came and took most of them off and he started again).
