Not wanting to kiss of people in the UK but.......

I had 57 enjoyable christmas's in the UK although I must say that weather wise, most were grey, damp, cold and miserable, sure, the odd one was picture post card white but most weren't. The last two have been warm and mild, two years ago there were people in the pool in Antalya on Xmas day in the Ramada hotel which is set on the Med and was surrounded by snow capped mountains set against a bright blue sky. Last year we had a lovely Xmas dinner sat in the sun at the Shaka on the lovely Fethiye Kordon.

So for me the novelty of warm and pleasant winter days hasn't yet worn off, I certainly don't miss frost, fog and sleet, if I want snow then I can pop up to Nif just above Uzumulu and be back in the warm winter sun in less than 45 minutes.

This morning while pottering around outside in a T Shirt picking our Christmas mandarins off our tree, I didn't miss the traditional Christmas cold one bit but if it's "your thing" then we wish you seasons greetings, in the mean time we will carry on enjoying the alternative.

We rarely get a white Christmas day here in southern England and its the one thing I would love to see on the 25th of this month.Pull the curtains and see the fluffy white snow flakes falling. What a lovely sight. Then later on when the kids have opened their presents  watch them and the other kids making the snowmen and throwing snowballs at each other. Looking at the other half and giving her special Christmas kiss as the snow falls on us. Give me the Uk and snow anytime. Just for the one week though.

                     "Give me the UK and Snow anytime"

You've just made my point, you stated that it doesn't snow much where you live but then you are in love with what might happen on Xmas day.

Honestly, I never thought Xmas outside of the UK would be even a consideration, in fact we only ever spent one and it was here in Calis, but now we realise that the fluffy white snowy christmas morning is just an aspiration rather than a fact.

It probably won't be, but having said that they did serve an excellent Tuborg Draught ALL last summer at 5TL for a large ice glazed glass!!

Anyway at around midday today it was still 6TL for the Guinness- good shout Lance.  It was accompanied by toasted cheese and onion sandwich and chips, temperature in the sun around 72degrees, sound of the waves lapping up on the beach ..... and it is the 14th December.  LIke I said at the start of this thread, I don't want to kiss off anyone in the UK, but how are things there today??

That's the temperature; not what I am drinking.
