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. |
I really do thank you for taking the time to explain all that to me I now understand what it is all about.
When I did a Google search I did not get the explanation you have given so I did think it was just a normal house with two floors and as far as the parade went I just did not understand it was a store in USA.
We have exactly the same in UK. We have those who love the lights and those who hate them saying they are a waste of power.
In many cities or towns the lights are on right through November and if you were to visit a town called Blackpool you will see the most famous lighting display in UK which starts in September and people travel a long way to see them. They are known as "The Blackpool Illuminations" and well worth a "Google" to see them.
I put my lights up during the last week of November and they get turned on at midnight on the 31st and I will be the first to admit I go over the top but this is my way of getting into the spirit of Christmas.
