in Germany you put it up the 24th of December and you keep it until January 6th (or even longer).
Most people have the Nativity scene there too and you add the camels and the Holy Kings the 6th of January. From the beginning of December you have a wreath with 4 candles, for each week until Christmas.
We have this in Finland too. We get the x-mas tree inside at the morning of 24th and get rid of it (to put it not so nicely) at the 6th of January.
