Joe: I actually enjoyed them. It may be the only semblance of a white Christmas that i get to see this year.

(Note: Those flakes were much more preferable than the plague of pop-up ads that once?? afflicted this site)

I liked them, in fact I think CruiseTalk should have them all year!

The snow in the 'click here' feature does not fall so fast and melt, like the original version - just a small point!

Gee, I liked the snowflakes too. It may be the only ones we see this year. We have not had even one flake so far. I am ready for a "winter wonderland".

Same here in London! We've not had a white Christmas Day for years, mind you it is only a light dusting of snow so it could easilt thaw in the next couple of days?

You've got snow Malcolm? We've had a heavy frost for a few days, and not even thawed out on the car today, but no snow. I know the forecast last week did predict snow for 25th.

Snow is all gone here and it is raining, miserable, dark all day - very depressing.

Mind you I am glad it is like this and not like the weather we had last year in December, when I worried every day whether we were going to get out of TO & Cleveland on our way to Puerto Rico to board the Veendam for Christmas.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE

Living just north of 'sympatico' it's miserable here too - no complaints though - this time last year, we had 6ft high piles of snow at the end of our driveway.

Cyber snowflakes are no problem! - there's a howling north wind tonight so we may yet have a white Christmas - real snow, which has to be shoveled before you can go anywhere, is something else. Canadian winters are not to be taken lightly......I'm cranking up the thermometer - mixing a hot toddy and wishing I was cruisin'!

SEASON'S BEST TO ALL!
