My house is my fairy tale: New Year's selection of the most elegant dwellings

We can doubt many of the accomplishments of Americans; to say that we are stronger, more spiritual, and in general, better in all respects. But what they are really ahead of the rest of the world is in the festive decoration of houses. Let's take a look at the brightest and most elegant dwellings of our overseas friends.

Some interesting facts

New Year's Eve in the United States is inferior in popularity to Christmas. But unlike our country, American Christmas is a secular holiday celebrated in cafes and restaurants; with fun and drinking with friends and family.

Americans also give gifts at Christmas. It is not customary here to put boxes under the tree on New Year's Eve - the most pleasant and exciting moment comes on December 24th. The time of miracles on the North American continent is Christmas night.

If you think that Americans are workaholics and do not have a long New Year's weekend like in Russia, then you are wrong. In the United States, New Year's holidays begin on December 25 and continue until January 2 inclusive. Nine days against our eleven: not much difference.

To see from space

Americans are really crazy about decorating their homes with festive illumination. December is the time of the Christmas battle called: "My home is the brightest and most beautiful." They spare no effort or hard-earned dollars for various garlands and glowing figurines.

Already in December, with the onset of darkness, the streets of US cities light up with all possible colors. Meters greedily wind kilowatts, cables are heating up, wires are buzzing - this is how America prepares for the most beloved winter holiday.

For this crazy light show, they even had a TV show dedicated to the country's most decorated houses. And winning it is far from easy. Those who want to become famous make unthinkable sacrifices.

For example, a resident of New Jersey, Tom Apruzzi, has invested about 150 thousand greens in the festive illumination over 15 years. But that's not all: in 2018, the stubborn American had to pay $ 3,000 in fines for every day of festive lighting. Tom got out of his neighbors with overloads in the network and crowds of onlookers near his home that they decided to abolish the “burning house”.
