# Woo to the pic
Question to the board,
Do they have snow on Christmas cards in Australia?

# They're the same cards
But they're upside down. The Channel 7 christmas ad over here has all the tv people singing 'let it snow this christmas', which shits me off no end.

# In Britain we have snowy cards,
but no sodding snow, and if we do it's that watermeloning powdery stuff that you can't make snowmen or snowballs from.
/end rant
How can you have people singing 'Let it snow this christmas' when it's high summer over there?

It's 36 degrees here today and humid as watermelon.

edit: hmmm. watermelon would be rather humid - it appears that the swearfilter is helping my limited vocabulary!

# Hence my rage.
It's even got David Koch (who has sold himself as the new age dinkum Aussie) singing the big bit at the end. And here's me with no air conditioning sweating over a litre per minute.

# yes, sometimes
likewise in NZ. There's equally common summer-themed ones, though.

We have pohutukawa flowers and beaches; they have...

acres and acres of dirt.

that said, it has been snowing like buggery in the South Island over the weekend.
