I used to spend a lot of time in Finland, including every Christmas for about 12 years running. They consider it bad luck to put trees / decorations up before the evening of Dec 23 and everything must be down before evening of Jan 6. A more condensed Christmas which I think works better.
Dried out Christmas tree goes on the sauna at Easter :-)
Going to be a less-good Christmas this year due to family shielding. We will have a 'second Christmas' sometime in spring when family have been vaccinated.
