The preparation for Christmas is called Advent, it is the four Sundays prior to Christmas Day. Advent is like a little Lent, violet is the color used for vestments and such. Fasting and abstinence are recommended, and in general it is a somber season where one concentrates on dealing with one's sins so as to be holy to celebrate the birth of Our Blessed Savior at Christmas.

Should Catholics decorate with Santa and elves at Christmas?
Catholics are free to decorate however they like during Christmas, remembering that "Santa" is actually a Catholic Saint - Saint Nicholas, who feast day is on 6 December. Biggest single thing, personally, I think that Catholics should remember is that this is primarily the coming of God into the world, we should be preparing more for Christmas by penance and confession so that when the joy of Christmas actually arrives, we may celebrate the entire SEASON of Christmas the way it should be, and not return to the mundane world on St. Stephen's Day. Christmas DAY is actually celebrated in the Church for eight full days!
