Great idea! I just used 1x1 bricks and stuck Santa from set 1555 in the middle of them on car-carrier flatcar (I forget the name ATM).

You could also use the above larger Santa and lots of forestmen for elves. They look close enough. Make Santa's toyshop with a train loaded with toys.
You could also buy up lots of Santa (or any other lego) keychains, put hooks on them and hang them. It's a great way to keep your keychains around for cool memories, not to mention keeping them from getting beat up in your pocket. And, of course, various small spaceships stuck in the tree are always cool... Well, somebody has to visit the star at the top of the tree.
