Well, we didn't end up putting too much stuff up outside. I took down the animated Santa projector light, and switched the slide on the other projector so it now says "Happy New Year!"

@LordShadowfire The family a few doors along have an assortment of rather tacky decorations in their small front garden. These include one that seems fashionable this year but rather bizarre: a plastic (inflatable?) Father Christmas dangling by his arms from some part of the building, the window-frame in their case.
I've simply a wreath on the front door, a small artificial tree with battery-powered lamps inside the front room window, and the usual string of cards.
One year I hung a hurricane-lantern above the front door, which is only about six feet in from the street, and faithfully re-filled and re-lit it each night from Christmas Eve till Eleventh Night. The effect was rather lost though, by a bright street-lamp nearly opposite!
