In Poland we start celebrating at 24th in the evening with dinner made of 12 dishes. Also gifts are given on 24th (laying under the tree). You should also leave one extra plate on the table for stray guest. Some people decorate houses in "American" way but it's rather minority.

We traditionally decorate the tree on 24th (and usually this is the task of the children)

Decorating X-mas tree is very joyfully and interestingly for my small son. He really was very glad when we do it.

In Russia decorate the tree when you want it :) earlier than month, 2 weeks or earlier than one hour :) Remove tree after Jan, 15. Sometimes later. We have national joke about Christmas tree removing and May, 1 celebration. ;)

Ok, We decided all with trees, but what about gifts? Who are received gifts from you? What are the gifts?

Oh, I know this sleeping wish :-)
We are now happy, that out children wake up but don't wake up us :-))
They are 3 and 6, so now it's getting better, we may sleep till 8 or 9.
But, Vass, I wish your wish will come true. -

Yes, I know what you mean (I have a six-year-old). When they learn to turn on the TV and use the remote control... (I know I am a bad parent... :))
