Don't know if you've seen them, but in the SW (Arizona, New Mexico, S.California) real chili peppers are put into wreaths and used as Christmas decorations, or they can be year-round kitchen decorations in various shapes. Christmas light manufacturers make their lights in those shapes too.
Actually the preferred US spelling is chili (only one 'l'). I believe two l's are used in the UK. Chile is the country but sometimes used to spell the food. The dictionary doesn't recognize chille at all. That doesn't mean, however, that they don't spell it that way somewhere...
