Don't you guys do the whole "St. Nicolas Day" thing? The Swedish side of my family does? *shrug*
Probably one of the most notable things about the US is "Black friday", the day after Thanksgiving. A lot of people either already have that day off of work, or they take it off anyway, and EVERYONE goes Christmas shopping. Most major stores will have good sales that day and open very "very" early (Anywhere from midnight, 3am, 4am, etc). This year my cousins started shopping at 3am and didn't stop until 4pm!
That's my little tidbit. I'll let someone tell you something about Christmastime in the US.
