    When does school starts in AU and NZ? I don't know cause when in Europe is summer there is winter so... And maybe I go to AU so i'm interested.

    The schoold year is just the year -- February-ish to Novemberish. Much simpler than starting the Damn academic year somewhere in the middle of the year -- also means long holidays in summer/xmas/newyear -- yay!

    my mum was always jelous of the way things worked out in the north - she hated the stress of organising christmas, christmas shopping and the new year with three kids on long holidays at the same time.

    i think we got the sweet end of the deal hehe.....we get snow at christmas and new years...but i dont see any difference in starting in march than starting in august...and its kinda cool to have all the big events of the year come during the mid winter break(christmas/new years)..and thankgiving/superbowl just before/after it..

    but i see we're both content, so thats good hehe

    Superbowl, get to the right sport boy. Stanley Cup, that's where the action is.

    i've had a green christmas only once in 20 years of christmas..there is almost always snow in the north east on that day :)

    even if not on the day...christmas to me is a period of time..from thanksgiving(llike november 25ish) to super bow(january 27thish)l..so snow during that time is just great

    and yes, vermont is a fridgey hell hole, but its my fridgey hell hole :)
