I remember one time when it snowed in St. Petersburg.

You are correct sir. Alas, I reside near Ft. Lauderdale

I think it was two days before Christmas in '89. It also snowed here back in '77.

...while others are trying to find a way to put Christ back into Christmas, that makes as much sense to me as saying we have to put Putin back into the White House again.

But Putin was never in the........ah, I see. :wink

Yellow stucco. Palm trees. Couldn't have guessed that one.

I vote "BAH HUMBUG!"

TOG, three spirits are going to visit you tonight...

Don't you know it's a law that Christmas has to be in winter! :tongue

My argument exactly, but after living in Florida for twenty years I realized I might as well be talking to a wall.

You can keep the eggnog... I'll take the Glühwein.

You can keep both. Just pass the 2 liter bottle of Mt. Dew.

You know I think I remember that. Some people have more dandruff than what it snowed that time.

Yeah, the only place it stayed for us was on the windshields of the cars.

Walmart just put out their holiday candles recently and they smell soooo good! I could easily spend an entire week's paycheck on them! (but considering I only make about $260 per week, that's not much! LOL)

Not sure what you are referring to exactly. The flamboyant tree would be in full bloom in most parts of Brasil during Christmas time. During the summer months of the U.S it would be dying and would have those nearly 2 foot long seed pods hanging from them. I guess they can be grown in the warmer states of the U.S but not sure if they would be in bloom during this time of year. I believe these trees are native to somewhere in the far east. I have tried growing several of them myself. They would get about 4ft tall if I could keep them alive by moving them inside during the winter, but they would all eventually die from some kind of blight or root rot.

the TREE in question lives and blooms at Christmastide whilst all the other trees around are dead or dying at Christmastide - so guess what the enchanting legend is about this phenomenon - twinc

How does the Queen of Sveden only make 260.00 dollars a week? Tax shelters?
