I used to love this as a kid as well!
I still do it. As I still live with my mom.
I sort of still do, too (our apartments are in the same building) -- but she doesn't want the fuss in her apartment anymore (she usually just makes do with a wreath or a vase of Christmas-y decorated pine / fir branches), and I can't have a Christmas tree or anything similar because of my cats.
