It is an un-Christmas-like 60°F / 15°C here in southern Germany this Christmas Eve. I can't even imagine how you ladies in the Southern Hemisphere feel if you're used to cold Christmases like I am!! So how many of us are going to have a white Christmas?

35 and sunny on the beach in Southern Thailand. What's more odd than the temperature is spending the whole holiday season in a place with no religious meaning behind December 25th. The malls are decorated, sure, and the commercial side seems to be here, but it's not a holiday here. I'm only here for a few months and without DH so I didn't decorate my apartment. There's no cozy fire, no hot chocolate, and I haven't been able to track down a Starbucks that understands what I mean by peppermint latte ("you want spearmint tea?). Not to mention the whole, Mary had a little baby who would he Emmanuel, the king of kings, thing is totally absent. BUT it's just one Christmas and spending it on the beach is pretty sweet. Plus our hotel is trying really hard to put on a nice Christmas show of traditional Thai dancing for the expats tonight. Im looking forward to it!
It is unseasonably warm here in Ireland too. A couple of weeks ago we thought it would be a white christmas but the polar winds shifted and now we have 12C, wind and some rain... I only remember one christmas ever being white and that was 2 years ago.

I just landed in Montana last night and it snowed overnight! So yes, white Christmas here!
Raggedeannie - for some reason, Asia just doesn't do the peppermint syrup. I cant get it in Doha either. (which is odd b/c they seem to love mint over here)! It makes me sad every winter!!!

It is supposed to start snowing here any minute now and continue into tomorrow. So I'd say we will have white Christmas. Even though we are in CO it doesn't happen all that often. We did have one last year too though. It had snowed a few days before and it stayed really cold. It is supposed to be 23F here for a high.
I left a white Christmas behind. Instead I'm going to the beach. The question now is whether to walk down the street to Copacabana or to get in the car and drive down to Barra.

Rainy comfortable weather here in London. It actually has been the year of rain...sigh. At least we're not in the midst of a flood like much of the UK.
We got about a half inch of snow but I was really excited. We almost never get a white Christmas despite where we live. The one year it snowed on Christmas we were in Hawaii.

Late to the party, but I was snowed in central Arkansas with 17 inches of snow and no internet connection (unless we stole from the unsecured Sheriff's Office connection).
We finally dug out and got back to NOLA on the 28th.

Ha! Sounds like the town I grew up in (well, went to school in. Our house was in the middle of cornfields...).
