Remember I am a stupid old English guy who gets confused when reading American English.
I live in a single floor house and this is called a "Bungalow" in UK.
I go well over the top with my lights and kids come from all over the area to see them.
I have no kids of my own and it is so nice to see the children's faces when they stand looking up at the lights.  |
Thanksgiving is always the 4th Thursday in November. This year it is on the 24th.
A 1 1/2 story building is a house that has a room upstairs but not necessarily an entire 'floor'. It won't have several bedrooms and a bathroom... it usually is just a bonus room upstairs.
I live in a 'bungalow' as well, but it is 2 stories with a basement. It is called a bungalow because of it's sloping roof. Attached is a picture.
The Macy's Thanksgiving Parade is an annual parade on Thanksgiving and is put on by Macy's a large department store. It has been held since 1924.
As for Christmas lights, we just do simple white lights and a wreath on our door.
