Hi friends
I was on vacation in Tel-Aviv for the last three days and I took a picture of a billboard in Jaffa-Tel-Aviv.
Enjoy

Hey Orit, Santa must be really hot...
Silke... here the billboards are covered with white. |

Just a quick thought for you Silke.... isn�t Jaffa-Tel-Aviv in the northern hemisphere?
It �s no surprise to an Australian to see palm trees... but I �m still in shock after my first ever experience of ice skating (outdoors, even) on Christmas Day last year! Snow & ice?! At Christmas!!!!
Merry Christmas to all, AB

That �s not right!!!
I usually expect blue skies, no clouds & 35 Celsius Champagne breakfast & a cold roast lunch, plenty of beer, a bit of backyard cricket with the nieces & nephews... not icicles!!!!

Yeah but we don �t dream of a white Christmas like Bing Crosby. We have it every year!
That �s a picture taken from my driveway when we received 15 to 20 cm of snow last week.

Woooooooooow! what a great view. Here in Mexico City we do dream of a white Christmas. I can�t imagine how cold that is but it looks beautiful...in winter when temperature decreases to 2-5� C we freeze jaja, I suppose we wouldn�t survive if it snowed in here, but right now I�m a bit jealous! |

Monchis, we are equipped for such weather. Our houses are insulated. A lot of people don �t like winter because it makes driving more difficult and you have to plan your trips according to the forecast. I don �t really like the cold and I absolutely hate shoveling but I think it �s a beautiful season. Besides, I don �t think I would appreciate summer as much if I did not go through winter. |

Gil, I heard that certain parts of Israel get snow in the month of December. Can you verify this? How about Jerusalem, since it is up on a hill? Also, are there shepherds out watching sheep in the fields now? Thanks!
