It really gives me a different perspective on things -- I spent the holidays in Brazil one year, and it was so interesting to see the ways that they incorporated the wintry European/North American themes into their own very summery, beach holiday...it was fun, but I definitely missed the snow and the fireplace!

My lil iPhone weather map is saying snow for Sunday. Catherine, finding the perfect place is tricky. It is very Christmassy here, it's quite amazing how everyone gets into it. I'd LOVE to go to the Christmas markets in Germany some time. Thanks Bree! Yes, I’ve been told about how Vancouver goes a little nutsy in snow.

I totally agree with you : snow is magic ! Yet, I can tell you, I spent my early childhood in Quebec, and you can really get too much of it. Snow lasts something like 4-5 month there, and when I came to Paris, a no snow winter was sooo exotic. But now I'd love to have a lit more of it ... And apart from the snow, I miss very much the traditionnal Christmas-ey atmosphere that you find in North America, in England, or in Germany. We don't have so much of it here. You know : Christmas trees, red and green, carols singing, ... Hard to find the perfect place ;o) Hello Amanda. I totally agree with you : snow is magic !

I have big hopes - but be warned the city pretty much goes into chaos mode when the snow comes. oh man.

Usually it doesn't last for long in Vancouver, and the city never knows how to deal with it so everything shuts down (except for coffee shops!). We usually get about a week or so of snow here every year. The long term forecast is showing possible snowflakes next week! Weeee! I love snow too. Don’t worry, the snow will come eventually.
