Very nice. We have just cold over here, no snow. The occasional rain, and some wind but that is about it!! Christmas is the highlight of the autumn and winter put together!!

Occasional rain where have you been!

We have had flooding and gail force winds down here

It get real cold over here. We had a -30° windchill factor on Sunday.
I don't mind it being cold as long as we have snow.
It is going to be nice to have a very white Christmas this year though.

I wish

Sorry, I ment for me.
But like I said I'll send you some.
So, you guys, I mean gals don't ever get snow that lasts for a bit?

We're lucky if its an inch thick and lasts for an hour it mainly rains here so it doesnt settle. I cant remember when our last proper white Christmas was.

That sucks. Christmas and snow just go together. Without snow Christmas just dosen't feel right. To me at least.

The last white Christmas (in Britain) was ages ago. Someone'll probably remind us exactly when. I think the last *really* heavy snow we had was ten years ago. It was probably 8 inches to a foot deep, and there was so much resting on the telephone wires, they looked extremely close to breaking. That time we had to help dig the mikman out when his milk float got stuck, just outside our house!

poor thing

I dont remember having any proper snow Ive got photos of me when I was little in it but I dont remember

I read in the paper yesterday that Chicago is on it's way to a record snow fall (if things keep up). We have already had 20 inches, and they are forcasting another 3-6 today and the same for tomorrow.
I just sit here thinking "it's not even winter yet."

Swap, you live here and I go and live there

Nah. I like the snow. But if you ever want to visit you have a place to stay.
I never could understand how people could live in places that don't have season changes (Florida, California and the like). Warm sunny days are great but if you have them all the time what is there to look forward to.

aww thanks

we have nothing but rain here so nothing to look forward to

Are you all ready for christmas?

Not quite yet. I still need to get my brother a crappy gift. (Like the ones he has given me over the past 5 years)
But other than that yes. My Christmas tree is up and holiday decorations are out.

How about you?

Tree's up, brought all the presents just got to sit down and wrap them all glad I dont have to cook a christmas dinner though

Hey wrapping persents are fun. And so is cooking for that matter.

Im no good at wrapping them up I get tape everywhere and they end up looking like Ive kicked them about the room a few times.

As for cooking, I dont think anyone would want to eat my charcol turkey

I like that analogy!
I've gotten quite a few gifts that have looked like that.

Its the thought that counts trouble is with my gifts they will be kicked about the floor by christmas if I get fed up with them going wrong
