One of the best things (AND hardest) things we ever did was, when our kids were 0-4ish, not put up our tree until Christmas Eve AFTER the kids went to bed. So, on Christmas Eve everything was as normal as everyday. Then on Christmas morning when the kids awoke, EVERYTHING was there...the tree, the decorations and the gifts. The look on our kids faces was worth the late night effort though.

When our kids hit the 4-5ish age, we told them that they were old enough that Santa needed their help (because they were old enough), and he needed THEM to put up their tree so he could see all the kids in the world.

I'd highly suggest that to anyone.

I posted that because I believe your child is about the right age to start doing that Cyndalie.
