I, MadridMan, and United Statesen expatriate, have never put up a Christmas tree in my 4 years here but I do "use" the Christmas tree of those closest to me on Christmas Day. I do, however, tie colorful ribbons around the house - but that's about as far as I go for Christmas decorations.
Some Spanish friends of mine have a potted pine (of some variety) which they decorate annually as well as decorate their house with holiday candles and other adornments.
Saludos, MadridMan
