yes we will definately have a White Christmas
I have only experienced 2 brown Christmas's and one was when we went to Florida and Disneyworld one year and the other was in 1997 when we didn't get snow until New Years that year.
We don't have alot of snow on the ground so far - just a skiff. Not enough to do any of the winter sports yet. The snowmobilers are all doing the neked snow dance in their back yards I'm sure
DS will likely try to meet his GF in New Zealand for a week there as she has an aunt and uncle who live there and then they will go to Australia together for a week. GF's family is originally from Holland and are rather spread out al over the world, Holland, Canada, Italy.
Sounds wonderful to me. I know my parents just love it. They met another couple from NZ a few years ago on a bus tour to Britain/Ireland/Scotland/Wales so they visit back and forth a bit every other year. Very interesting country. My parents have travelled to every continent and they have decided Autralia/NZ is just great. They would very much like to go back to Africa but it is very dangerous alot of the places they would like to go back to.
Would love to hear more about Austrailia.
