There are are also places with artificially created cold climate kids (and adults too) can experience what is winter like. Here in Russia they have salt rooms :) Isn't it funny?<br /><br />Lights on the ground? Impressive!

We sometimes see snow here at Christmas - but like yours it has been made by a snow machine. Christmas time here in NZ is time for the beach and all things summer.
