Thinking of doing the same.  last year I bought the christmas train and had Santa's workshop from the year before.  Built a few things to fill in the gaps then myself.  Need to have a think about that one myself.  Might have to allow a few store bought creations mixed in with our own creations for Decembers MOC of the month.

Started a few things for the display.  Church and ice rink made.  Not sure if the church is too big though ...

Sweet.  Just building a table to fit the christmas tree on so I can have the lego christmas train and all the bits going around it.  Have to leave room for presents underneath :)

Is your tree Groot or just very small, a Christmas train is so mesmerising and then to watch polar express and inspire a MOC

Hopefully will take the weight of a 7 foot tree. Have some 12 inch bolts keeping the blocks in the centre. Going for artificial so no sap drops on the lego!
