How to Keep Toddler from Destroying Christmas Tree Aka Childproofing

I can't believe it myself, but Christmas is just around the corner and I've been thinking about this for quite a while. We will be putting up our Christmas tree soon, and my son who is 13 months old, loves to get into everything. I wanted to find out if anyone has suggestions/ideas on how to keep him from destroying the ornaments, decorations, presents, and the tree itself. I've thought of putting a gate around the tree, but those types of gates are quite expensive. Are there any other ideas out there? Just wondering.
