Not wanting to depress you, but there are now only 40 sleeps until
Christmas. ;-)

I thought it was Christmas already, with all the Santa Claus in display and
winter-snow thematics in plain brazilian Summer...

Yeah, as I walk around looking at all the winter-themed shop displays I
do wonder how many children around here /don't actually know/ what snow
looks like.
When I was a child, it snowed every single winter. Maybe not on
Christmas, but there was always at least a day or two where there was
deep snow on the ground, and there were many weeks of icy frosts.
Today, we sometimes go the entire way through winter without a single
flake of snow ever falling.
This makes me wonder whether there are children in this country who have
only ever seen snow on TV. They might not know, for example, that snow
is cold. Or that it crunches when you walk on it.
Then again, when you consider that the entire country malfunctions
almost to the point of collapse when we /do/ get a fraction of a
millimetre of snow, maybe it's a good thing it doesn't snow often...
Do you know, I went out for a meal last weekend, and half the pub was
covered in white cotton wool in imitation of snowdrifts.

I knew it was going to be different when I moved to San Diego on November
and saw someone wrapping xmas lights around a palm tree wearing shorts and a
t-shirt.

I doubt there are any old enough to understand TV who haven't seen it for
themselves, given the UK winter last year!
