having never experienced snow at Christmas...

Well, it IS nice to have a bit of snow for Christmas, but then it hangs around for about 6 months in Canada.

It didn't take me too long to get used to NZ Chrismtases.

still prefer a cold and white X-mas. This is only my second X-mas in NZ so hard to choose already.

Hmm difficult one... I spent years in the Uk and been here 4 years... Christmas feels very different here... lighter....
