If your female population is good then I don't see why there'd be problems.
There are more women then men here so i guess that's a plus in your books.

Plus you have those nutters that drive cars across water don't you?
Why yes.Yes we do.We also have nutters that ride snowmobiles over water.
I'm so going to Iceland for a holiday... Any good ruins there? I heard there's no trees in Iceland either, well no forests at least?

No. No it's not. Its not Christmas in fucking November.

I'll know when it's Chirstmas because my local store will have a fucking hideous life size model of santa next to the entrance, that sings the most obnoxious Xmas songs at you as you walk around the shop.

I'll know it's Christmas because my bank balance will plummet as I buy unwanted presents for family and friends.

I'll know it's Christmas when I'm miserable and people will say to me: "hey Luke, cheer up, wheres your Christmas spirit?!" and I reply "you can take yer christmas spirit and shove it up your ass ".

None of those things have happened yet.

Fucking Christmas my arse. We dont even get any snow anymore :(

As you can tell, I love Christmas. :D
No need to kill the holiday spirit for the rest of us...
Actually, there is. I make it my mission at this time of year :)

I'm a dedicated scrooge :p

Nahh, Christmas is alright, it's just the whole "lets start putting xmas songs on the radio and put decorations up and have xmas adverts on the tv, even though its halfway through november" thing really gets my goat.

Christmas is ok, but to me it's not really any more special then say, Easter. Maybe I'm just bitter 'cos we never get any Christmas snow where I live :(

I'm really not looking forward to Christmases any more. The market sucks the fun out of it with all the shameless profiteering.

I can sympathize, I only get maybe one day of snow in January, maybe two on a freak year when we're very lucky. I love South Carolina.

There are forests.But they're fairly small.And the trees are rather short compared to most other country's.

The good ones are here in the Westfjords.There are some little ones in the town i live in,but none significant.
And to experience the true Iceland,i suggest you go out in the country side.And stay away from any town with a higher population then 2000.Mostly only arrogant dicks live there.
Try to find a small town of maybe 300-500 to get great hospitality and a warm stay.Like my home town.

YOU'RE LUCKY TO EVEN HAVE A GOAT.
I swear, all this hype, commercialisation and bastardisation of this once-fun holiday does my head in. It's times like these I wish I drank. Heavily.

Oh trust me, I hate populations lol. It's like going to Paris to visit France or London to visit England... You get like, a single over-priced whiff of what the country is all about. The exception is Rome, it's bittersweet because of the crowds but the place is so well preserved it's incredible.

I love just picking a direction and just passing through it. I went to Marrakech last year and whilst crazy, the best thing we did was take a bus 8 hours over the mountains and towards the desert and ended up in some really small town. But it was great because we actually got to see the non-tourist part of Morocco. We even found the kasbah which is a set of ruins where Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia and Prince of Persia have been filmed.

I'd really look forward to visiting your country. How's the place like for spoken English? Because my Icelandic is, well completely non-existant...

After Thanksgiving. I hate it when people put up their Christmas decorations like the day after Halloween. I mean, Christmas is at the end of December. While I do admit that it's the best holiday ever, it's very tacky and pretty lame to put them up. So at the very soonest, after Thanksgiving. Maybe even the beginning of December.

Also, I freaking love eggnog. Now, the decorations are lame but it is never too early for eggnog.

The Christmas Season definitely starts when the Coca-Cola advert comes on TV.

But house decorations don't usually go up until it's actually December and I don't get into the Christmas mood until after we break up from school.

It doesn't for me. I personally do not celebrate the holiday and have not for years. Christmas is one day, so in my opinion, it starts and ends on that day.

I don't know why but I seem to hold onto all my excitement for Christmas until like 2 or 3 days before at which point I start to bounce off the walls and foam at the mouth with excitement.

Christmas starts early for me, as I begin to practice christmas pieces on the piano, which puts me in the mood.

It truly started yesterday, when I got a mince pie
