I didn't celebate Christmas until I was 10 years old...In 2009, when I spend x-mas in Israel there was a white X-mas in Denmark. And it was the first one since I started celebrating X-mas.
But the following year, in 2010, I spend x-mas in Denmark with my boyfriend and there was a white Chritmas again!
I love Christmas. These two photos in the snow were taken in the front yard of my Uncles house in Vancouver. The first obe was in 1979. My family and I had just flown in from Australia and although it was cold, there was no sign of snow. Which was terribly sad for my mother who hadnt been home to Canada in 10 years. She was so excited about showing my brother and I a white Christmas. We feel asleep on Christmas Eve very excited about the thought of Santa arriving the next morning. I remember vividly getting woken up and told to stand at the window, it was sometime in the middle of the night and although I was tired I was excited to see whatever it was that was going on outside. Someone switched on the outside lights and I will never forget the sight....there was a cover of pure white snow and snow flakes falling. I was gobsmacked. I can recall my mother in tears. A pretty special memory as a 10 year old. Best Christmas Ever!
The second photograph was from Christmas 1990 and i had my second white Christmas.
I come from Slovakia, but I live in Austria right now. It may seem that having a white Christmas in such a (European) country isn't that unusual, but times changed. There were years when we could be sure of having a white Christmas, but due to the climate change it snows a few weeks later, than it did a few years before. As a result, having a white Christmas is still very special.
For the first time in years, Houston woke up to a white Christmas. This was the first time that I had even seen snow. It was so magical!. Usually our "snow" consists of hail, and feels more like ice stones are falling from the sky rather than small snowflakes. I was so amazed by how soft it was. I could actually make snow balls and snow men! Before we had just seen hard ice that would freeze itself to the ground. Our winter wonderland lasted even after winter break, and we got another 2 weeks off from school (cause Texans don't know how to drive in snow lol). It atually felt like Christmas for once, and not a slightly cooler summer.
