How come?

Wow, I'm only the one of four who hates Christmas.

My parents are both working on Christmas Day and my brother has decided to go to Queensland. My sisters all live overseas so basically I'm going to be lonely and depressed. Yay!

I love christmas! I get to see family and friends I don't often see, get to eat good food, vacation from work/studies and there's presents. With a bit of luck, we get proper snow and dark, snowy winter evenings outside when it's cold and crisp can get so magical sometimes. This year, I'm also looking forward to taking the boat out for fishing with my girlfriend. I figure I'll see if I can catch anything in our crab pots too. I've never tried that around christmas before. It might get a bit cold for him, but I was also hoping I bring my nephew and teach him how to catch and bring home a meal. A thermos of hot cocoa might make the cold ocean bearable.

Summary : Christmas = pretty great!

"with a bit of luck we get proper snow".
I always thought that was always the case in Norway.
Misinformed again?
That's one of the reasons I would want to live in Scandinavia .

Well, it depends on where you are! I celebrate christmas on the very southern tip of the country and snow there is not guaranteed, although I think it's nice and snowy at present so it probably will be at christmas too.

When I lived up on Svalbard, there was snow most of the year. All the year just up on the glaciers and mountains, actually.

I like the build-up to Christmas and the whole festive atmosphere in the centre of towns and cities. But when Christmas finally comes it just feels like an anti-climax and it's over in a short space of time. St. Stephen's day/Boxing Day or whatever you want to call it is far better, especially going out on the piss that night. The last few years have been seriously epic, anything could happen.

Get a bit more drink into you this Christmas

All your talk of snow made me think of another reason why I hate Christmas. Because I don't get snow and instead it's always disgustingly, stinking hot and sweaty!

Well there's snow overhere at some places already, here's a picture of a friend of mine who lives in the province Groningen, in the North of the Netherlands:

It's not much, but it's there.

And then, a picture from the province of Friesland, which is next to Groningen:

Three flakes of snow and the dutch can't drive anymore.
I love driving on deserted roads in the snow, having a drift now and then.
But I always keep my car under control. I guess these people trust too much of these fancy electronic gimmicks. My car hasn't got... well... any of those. Just airbags.

I went searching for Svalbard and I discovered it's an Island to the north of Norway.
I didn't know that belonged to Norway as well. Looks very pretty to me

Where do you live now?
(I like to do a little bit of streetviewing ;D).
