It is usually cold here, but we do have a climate cycle, snow often let off the agenda.<br /><br />I've always thought the white Christmas concept came from the northern-most parts of Europe, along with Norway, Finland, and like-countries; more specifically from the Druids. A great many traditions that modern society uses comes from those locations and peoples.<br /><br />As a child the best Christmas gift was a sled and a huge hill of snow! We also used old metal washtubs.

For me, Santa Claus wears shorts and a t-shirt and surfs into shore!Trishhttp://www.synchrosecrts.com/synchrosecretsnoreply@blogger.com
