Here in the US, there are some differences in the items associated with Christmas. The most prevalent are candy canes, striped confectionary shaped like a walking stick. These are available both as real sweets and as decorations for trees and front yards.
Less prevalent, possibly unique to the house across the street, is the display of illuminated male genatalia in the window. Funnily enough, if you look at them right they almost look like candles. Last year on the lawn a few days down there was an animated Santa Clause and a reindeer. Judging by what Santa was doing to the reindeer he was educated in an English Boys School.
