For those of you who are curious about Ushpizin and the traditions that accompany inviting guests into the Sukkah, there are several different sites you can check out on the subject.
http://www.myjewishlearning.com/holidays/Jewish_Holidays/Sukkot/At_Home/The_Sukkah/Ushpizin.shtml
Is one place to check out the tradition. I also recommend checking out the rest of the site about the different holidays. It's quite informative and can answer many different questions pertaining to tradition, culture and and Jewish Life in general.
There are plenty of other places to check out, which contain many different philosophies. aish.com is one, as is chabad.org. Feel free to check them out.
As it happens there is also an Israeli movie which came out several years ago called Ushpizin. It takes place during Sukkot and involves an orthodox man and wife who have some Sukkot guests they hadn't expected. It's a good movie and if you get the chance I do recommend you check it out.
