I'll take this opportunity to thank Rabble_Rouser a.k.a. Steve, jenni, Nephylim, Bugeye, TalonRider and Mark Arbour for the answers and info's, they're really useful to me.
And explain a bit the reason I am asking these "dumb" questions. My prof gave us a project with a clear guildline, i.e. we are required to write a scene of Thanksgiving or Christmas in the States by, as i quote, "using your imagination and doing research." I thought you guys may help me here. And you did. I'm so grateful for that.
And also thanks to Louisiana Writer a.k.a. Carvel, for giving me some really "unconventional" ideas and showing me stereotypical gay behaviours. That's why your prof would ask you to do reasearch on the Internet - not only to get the info's you need, also to get ideas for future characters.
F.Y.I. maybe your Wikipedia does, but mine doesn't have the answers to the questions.
