Writer's Block: What Winter Means To Me

[hisao]

 Considering the time of year this question is asked, I'll say that for me it means:

"Oh man! How come the people up North get a snowy Xmas?"

I don't really mind though. Having an Xmas by the Barbie is just as good. I also means beautiful warm sun, lovely swims at the beach and, of course, silently teasing Northern people about their snowy Xmas. I'm

Aahahah :)
Snowy Winters are the best!It's so beautiful!
I wouldn't mind having a sunny Winter for a change...going to beach,not having to wear 10 kilos of clothes...

I alredy had the opposite:a snowy August in 2006 in Johanesburg...I left Lisbon with a temperature of 43º, and 10 hours later I was freezing with the -2º and a tee-shirt! :/

Anyways the réveillon sure gets more stylish with the warm temperature...

I'm actually a little bit jealous of the snowy winters >.<
If you want, we'll swap winters. You come and steal our sunny winter (I'll laugh if it rains on Christmas Day) and I'll steal your snowy one.

A snowy August, that was duringn winter eh? Well that must've been annoying getting to such a cold place. I've only experienced -2º at night, bt a heater was on and I was wrapped in blankets so I didn't notice =p

It was really strange for me to be sitting outside on Christmas Day at about ten in the evening, with a glass of wine, chatting with friends, and for it to still be daylight. That's what I remember most about my first New Zealand Christmas.

The only time I have ever had a snowy Christmas was one year when i visited friends in The Netherlands and it was so cold that the ice on the canals was so thick that you could ride a bike on them!

Congrats on having a Kiwi Christmas there. Did you have a BBQ to go with the wine?

Eh? The only time you had a snowy Christmas? But-but you live in England! I'm sure you guys have snowy Christmas's. O_o

Christmas in Netherlands sounds fun. I probably would've rode a bike on them =p

Well, we actually had a barbecue breakfast instead!
Where I live in the UK, which is the very south-west of England, we don't get much snow, so while I've experienced snow (certainly) never at home at Christmas. :))

A BBQ breakfast? Wow, a pom's beaten me to that! Lol!
Ah you're kidding, that's gotta suck. Oh well, just get on the train to the snowy parts of England. Probably what I'd do. An Xmas road trip to the snowy areas =p

[hisao]

Rain rain go away, come again another day! (Or dump yourself on Aussie instead =p)

Yeah, down south is the perfect summer Christmas. So, instead of you getting bucketed down with rain you just got cold winds? Yup, that sounds a lot like winter.
