I'm leaning more toward team nothing every year. Our tree this year is a 1-year seedling in a gallon pot on the back deck with no decorations (but hey at least it's out there). Gary strung some lights randomly here and there, and I set out some Santa guys but that's about the extent of our decor. Xmas is really not my favorite holiday although I haven't stooped totally to bah-humbug. On the positive side, our nuclear family (2 parents 2 adult children 1 grandchild 1 significant other) has committed to gifting each other one full weekend in 2015 for whatever work party the recipient pulls together - quality time together without frivolous spending. We all like the idea... but we shall see how it actually pans out.
Edited to add: I'm attempting to recreate my folks' traditional Tom & Jerry hot toddy - neither is still around so hard to figure out which of the massive online recipes might be the 'right' one, although my mom was not a real adventurous cook so I'm going with simple. My general recollection is eggy-foamy on top with hot water below and of course we young-uns didn't have any spirits in ours. Grated fresh nutmeg.
