Down here south of the equator it is heating up to the height of summer while also approaching Christmas. The other day I went to the mall in the capital city and found that they have Christmas decorations out in full force! Big decorated pine trees, light cicles, Santa, reindeer, and my favorite of all two eight foot tall inflatable snowmen! I had brought along someone from Kang and so I decided to ask her if she knew what the snowman was. She had no idea. I explained to her that in the northern USA children make these out of snow. I then had to explain what snow was. And that it was cold. She thought the whole idea of playing with such a substance was absurd much less making a 'person' out of it. Not being a fan of cold weather myself, I tend to agree with her. So, among the swaying palm trees and glowering trees and plants we have light cicles, fake snow, snowmen and Santa in his full fur coat and hat while temps approach 100. It seems the northern hemisphere truly dictates the feel of Christmas. Lol! Check out a couple pics here
