The most beautiful American houses decorated for Christmas. A PHOTO. VIDEO

Throughout December, traditionally, American homes are buried in light illumination. Tomorrow, December 25, many will turn off the lights and lights, but even today they don’t think about electricity bills - the main atmosphere of the holiday. The most important thing for many families is to show people that they love Christmas..

In almost every area for Christmas, you can find several originally decorated houses that create the most real festive mood.

Owners of these houses do not care about large electricity bills in December, because they find the time and energy to create a holiday for themselves and others.

Many of these houses are decorated in a new way for every Christmas and over time become a kind of local attractions for tourists.

Among the significant Christmas places is the small town of Dyker Heights in Brooklyn, which for Christmas is transformed into a fairy tale and lights up with thousands of lights. Outside of Christmas, this area is notable for its low crime rate and historic houses, many of which are over a century old. But the entire December will be added to these advantages by a fairy tale: residents spend about $20 thousand on decorating their houses, and the electricity bill for just one December can be more than $XNUMX thousand.

The area began to be decorated in the early 80s, when the first unusually decorated house appeared here. This caused such a stir that it turned into a large-scale hobby - and the spirit of competition gripped all the neighbors.

But to be the best on your street is one thing, and to become the brightest on the planet is another. This was even filmed the film “Welcome, or No Neighbor Entry” with Danny DeVito in the lead role. In the plot of the comedy, the hero De Vito sets himself the task of making his home visible from space with the help of Christmas decorations.

Inspired by this idea, students from the University of Leicester in the United States decided to calculate how many garlands and light bulbs to hang on their home so that it can be seen from the ISS. After calculating the average power of LED-bulbs used in the garlands, as well as the level of light pollution, they concluded that a resident of an average American city (the same hero De Vito) needed to decorate his house (preferably the roof and the area around) at least 2683 with LED-bulbs .

But this is an approximate option. In the event that someone decides to actually “light up” his dwelling, the number of luminous garlands may have to be increased.

Interesting fact! Did you know that, according to statistics, 18 cities in the United States are named Bethlehem. Bethlehem, Connecticut typically hosts a two-week choir festival in December. In Bethlehem in the states of North Carolina, Kentucky and Georgia there are theatrical performances that reconstruct events in the biblical Bethlehem. Bethlehem, South Dakota, has long been a city of refuge for religious Hasidic Jews. And the most famous of them is located in Pennsylvania, just two hours by car from Manhattan.

Every year thousands of tourists come here, because since 1937, this city has been supporting and developing the image of the “most Christmas” city of America.
