Christmas Traditions/Decorations of the British???

Hello all, through my geneology research I have discovered 4 major roots of my family (German, Swedish, Newfoundland/Irish and British). My husband has the British (thus my children's heritage).

His British ancestors were amoung the first to settle the area of Hempstead Long Island in the 1600's.

This Christmas I would like to collect an heirloom quality item that represents each geographical area to decorate my house with and pass onto generations.

This is where I need your help....do you have any suggestions for a traditional item that British folks use/used to decorate with at Christmas time?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks, Janet Wood
