Hi Friends
Happy 2009 to all and Belated Merry Xmas
I know that People in Europe and USA like to have White Xmass ( when they have snow) and New year. and i heard they get Discount at stores if its White Xmass( not sure).
I was just wondering who had enjoyed White XMASS and New Year???
As far as i am concern, i dont have white Xmass or New Year, but sure we got Foggy Xmass and New Year. Since Dec 24, we are having very very dense Fog/mist and its really disatrub whole transportation net work.
Take care

No WHITE X-MAS for me Zass. Well It was FOGGY AND BLINDING NEW YEAR! As we were driving through the road, we couldn't see anything and trust me some accidents here and there happened due to thick fog!
My brother in US told me that they had freezing rain X-mas! That sounds different for people like us!
Wishing you a very happy New Year!

Yes Zass. On New year;s Eve the city recorded a huge accident list. Even though it included drunken driving too but FOG played an important part aswell.

Hi cupie..Thanks for your good wishes,and I hope you are enjoying your foggy xmas and new year!!...Yes in the US they are having white xmas and New year and they get snow storms too occasionally which disrupts traffic and lowers attendance in offices too....But most establishments are having New year holidays now and they have all gone on vacation to near by cities.....And yes they do have discount sales too there at this time of the year...
After hearing reports of snow storms in the US and fogs in Delhi and Pakistan,I an sure glad I am enjoying a fine moderate climate here.....Its warm and sunny in the day time and a bit cool at night.....

Happy 2009 to you too, Cupid.
I had a beautifully white Christmas and New Years..... white sand! Bright shining stars, amazing temperatures. The tropics. A great place to end the year and start a new one.
Sorry about your Foggy Xmas and New Year. I'm such a good friend that I soaked up a few extra sun rays just for you.

Cupid, I am sorry, I never heard about the term 'White Christmas' and my GK is very low (lol). But fog is everywhere in Delhi and it is disturbing travelers, many accidents has occurred and trains got delayed etc. (you are right the whole transportation net work affected) I know you are too in the midst of the same problem. Let us hope it will be cleared out soon and the climate will be good by mid January (just guessing, lol).

Hi SreeKala
no need to be sorry
u heard every word first time, and specially this terminilogy is used in Europe and USa mostly.
Fog, sure i am distrubed a lot, many flights have been re routed, trians are late by 7-8 hours and many others problem, it will also be effecting CROPS as well.
and sure accidents are also there and due to this they close motorway during dense fog
Hope for best and stay safe
bye

There is no question of a white Christmas here for us. This Christmas was not even cold. The weather here till 31st Dec was quite warm. It is just from New years eve that the weather has cooled down a bit. But not cold enough for us to be wearing our sweaters or shawls.
I have enjoyed my New Years eve at home and was working yesterday.

Hi Mayka
thanks for stopping by
Well, i know in mumbai, its very rare that u need to wear sweaters and shawls, i think u might have fans on during Xmass
but do u honestly think Xmass is associated with cold and snow???
wish u all the best for yr 2009

It was a foggy christmas and a foggy new year here in Delhi, India. I have never seen a white christmas so was planning to go somewhere where i can witness a white christmas but dude to some personal reasons i could not move out. It was very cold here and the fog will be thick till 10:30 A.M in the morning so everything is slow, traffic jams on new years eve was just a pain. So, on new years day i just stayed back home and had some drinks with some friends. Wishing you a very happy new year cupid.

[i]HI cupid,
It was not a white Christmas for us, it was very clear and with sunshine but cold still! You are right about the huge discount after Christmas....It was 75-80% off of different items and it was really crazy! LOL!
Happy New Year there![/i]
