For Norway it depends, really...
We get the small things (lights, figurines) out with advent starting, so late november/early december, but don't do the tree until the night before (23rd). The outside lighting we usually do a bit earlier, as it gets super dark here and it looks nice.
Some people do it much earlier.
Special traditions for Norway would probably be porridge with an almond in it. The one who gets the almond wins the marzipan prize.
Our family does it a bit differently: There are many almonds, the total changing every year and only Mum knows, and the one with the most gets to pick from the prize pool first. That way, everybody gets something and the kids are happy.
I finally won last year with 14.
It's also super fun watching people looking like chipmunks, hiding their almonds until it's time to count.
