Thanksgiving snow?

Thank you, some of our fellow filipinos who are working abroad were also missing the familiar spirit during these times. Most of them would return here for a holiday vacation, then spend sometime together with their dearly missed families and relatives. And during these time, Chrsitmas bazaars and other sidewalk shops pop out from everywhere. Some of them are open 24/7, to cater latenight shoppers!;) Come December 16, there will be a traditional filipino-catholic celebration where almost everyone will attend a "Night Mass" (Misa de Gallo in Spanish) will be held every 4:00 am simultaneuously to every church in preparation for Christmas!;)

Wow, those sound like really great and interesting traditions! Thanks for sharing with me! I can see how those who are abroad would miss their traditions!

Thanks for sharing, raijin! I would send you some of my snow if I could, we get more than enough where I'm at. It's great that you have your own traditions and events this time of year. I love learning about other people's traditions. I don't exactly celebrate Christmas myself, not being Christian, but my religion has a winter holiday as well, and we usually get snow on it. :P Good luck to you with having your white Christmas someday!

Hmm damp and chilly but no snow doesn't sound as pretty. :P

Oh, Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

Wow, that is warm! :P I hate snow about halfway through winter, but I like it early. Of course I don't have a vehicle to dig out of it, so that helps!

Terry you lucky chit send some sun this way please! Hehehehe! Happy Thanksgiving to my friends in the US!

Awww. I'm so lucky to be off, and I have a great view from my apartment. By a few months from now I'll be sick of snow, but right now I'm loving it. I've even walked home from work in the snow the past couple of times it snowed, but it hasn't stuck around yet. I wonder if this one will stick around. Be careful getting to work!

Eeek, yes that ice would be a problem. I don't drive, so I guess I don't deal with that part of the weather. I like watching snow, and even playing in it sometimes, but it does last too long where I live.

Aww, you haven't seen snow? I can't imagine not having seen snow, it's so beautiful, especially when it first falls. I hope that you get to see it someday!

I don't really send out Thanksgiving greetings. In fact, I celebrated it quietly with just my husband and son. It's mostly an excuse to eat a lot (and watch football for some people) so it's not really something I would send greetings for to anyone.

Hehe that sounds like fun! We have enough we could make a decent snowman, which we might do if it's still around after I get off work. :P

Yay snow! :) Lucky you, not having to deal with the drunk snowmobilers all the time. I wouldn't mind so much if they actually got in trouble for it, but our cops never do anything about it because it's tourism money. Bleh. We get the lovely fun of watching them try to cross Portage canal before it's frozen or after it's thawed, and then go to a cold watery grave. Those are usually the deaths we see.

That sounds a lot like my weather... usually we would have been snowed in by now several times, but there's been just a few snowfalls that haven't stuck anyway, until yesterday's. I bet the winter sports people are praying hard. It wasn't much really, just a couple inches here, but it's snowing again today now.

Blech. That's a bummer when it doesn't stick even though it's freezing out!

I agree, I was really hoping to see some white on the ground too. But I guess as long as I get snow for christmas I won't complain, lol.

Thanks! :) Haha, I don't eat turkey, but my husband has a lovely beef roast cooking! I'm so excited, I can smell it already! :P Our snow is probably going to stay too, since it's only supposed to be in the 20's today.

Have a nice roast beef then hun! Yep, the snow is staying today here too!

Haha that does sound like fun! :) Snow is tons of fun, I can't help but enjoy it!

Thanks! :) I hope you get your snow soon too!

*nods* We get lake effect from Lake Superior here, so I know how it feels. :P

Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving to you!
