Big presents? Holiday Traditions?

What are you all doing for big presents this year? K is getting about 5 presents - one big one: a Hape Dollhouse, and then a couple education toys (lacing toy, book, family for the dollhouse, etc.)
Also, what traditions (if any) are you doing now? We are doing the 25 books thing - opening a book every night after we do the Advent calendar. K isn't very interested in the books anymore though - the first couple of times she was excited, now she just opens it and then wanders off. Ah well. I will keep doing it and maybe next year she'll be a bit more into it.
The other tradition we are doing is one my parents did for me which is the "crazy elf" who doesn't know when Christmas is (not to be confused with Elf on the Shelf which we don't do). She leaves a stocking on her door and 12 days before Christmas, small gifts start appearing in it, left by the crazy elf. Mostly bath toys, small cars, fruit, lollipops, etc.
On Christmas Eve we will open one gift which will be new pjs for her to sleep in that night.
I think that's it

He LOVES horses since he goes riding at our friends' house, and he runs over to this every time he sees it in the Children's Museum's toy shop. He loves to "count" the horses. He just points at each one and says, "Bee, bee, bee, bee," which is how he counts. (He gets his math skills from his mom!)
The daycare provider also said that he loves binoculars, so I ordered the Melissa and Doug binoculars, too.
Happy Holidays, Ladies and LOs!
