It does Not snow in South Africa on Christmas!

It does Not snow in South Africa on Christmas!

8 Comments 26 December 2005

Artificial snow at shopping malls maybe, but why on earth would a South African Search Engine put snow flakes as its background and do the whole snow capped winter logo ala-Google in the norhtern hemispher thing? Ananzi, we are in the Southern Hemisphere and believe it or not it is Summer! What happened to being proudly South African?

I went picking real strawberries on a farm in Stellenbosch on 25 December, not fake snow

You have a very good point there. Could it be that they are catering for an overseas market? do they have an overseas market? or do they just want to get onto the Christmas bandwagon like everyone else, but aren’t creative (or logical) enough to come up with something other than snow to symbolise Christmas?
Pretty weak by Ananzi.

I like what the V&A Waterfront did with the startfish & sea shell decorations on their chrismas trees though. Chirstmas at the sea Glad I didn’t sea any snow. That is catering for an overseas market, welcome to South Africa, it doesn’t snow here.
