With my family we follow an old French tradition. Tree is put up for the last week of Advent but left undecorated. On Christmas eve we decorate the tree with lights and ornaments before going to mid-night Mass. Gifts are placed under the tree but not distributed until Petit Noel (King's Day). Tree is left in place at least through Twelfth Night.

At my place I have a sort of Charlie Brown tree, more like a leafless branch, and suspended from the branch I have one .45 ACP bullet. "A cartridge in a bare tree"!
