We will have to travel somewhere for a white Christmas. Though, the concept of a white Christmas in Britain came from 1500s to 1800s during the Little Ice Age, back when the Thames river would freeze over. It's not really a thing that occurs very often nowadays, despite being in the Northern Hemisphere. I'll be back tomorrow with more Christmas trivia!

Very Interesting read pertaining to how white Christmas derived In Britain. I had no Idea It dated that far back. I'd have to travel overseas to experience It, which won't be anytime soon.

If It's how I visualize It, how on earth (or should I say on "Ice") can you keep your footing on frozen river? RE: Christmas! - BurritoBeans - 12-24-2018 I get to spend time with family and then go to work from 2PM until 2AM the next day, yay? It does suck a bit at times since it's just going to be me cleaning up and getting stuff moved around, I've been doing Christmas this way for three years now, but hey double time pay is nice.
