	White Christmas (snow) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For example, in many parts of the USA, snow is seldom experienced at Christmas except in the mountains; but most parts of Canada except for the British Columbia coast and southern interior valleys, southern Alberta, southern Ontario and parts of the Maritimes stand an excellent chance of experiencing a white Christmas.
		In modern times a Christmas is officially considered "white", especially by bookmakers, if a single snow flake is observed falling in the 24 hours of 25th December [1], meaning it can officially be declared a "White Christmas" with no perceivable quantity of snow.
		Some of the least-likely white Christmases that have happened include the 2004 Christmas Eve Snowstorm, which brought the first white Christmas in 50 years to New Orleans and caused the first ever white Christmas to Houston, Texas.

		The 2004 Christmas Eve Snowstorm was an extremely rare weather event that took place in Louisiana and Texas in the United States on December 24, 2004.
		The event involved a widespread snowfall and unusually cold temperatures, and caused dozens of varied weather records to be shattered.
		The fact that the snow accumulated overnight on Christmas Eve led to a White Christmas the next morning, a common and hallowed occurrence in the northern parts of the United States, but something completely foreign to a region where the beaches play host to palm trees.

		With just hours to go before Christmas, the nation's retailers hoped a last-minute flurry of holiday shoppers, whether delayed by winter storms or by simple procrastination, would be enough to shore up an otherwise disappointing season.
		But the industry is still resigned to the fact that the 2004 holiday shopping season won't be stellar -- the question is whether the last-minute boost will be enough to help stores meet their modest sales goals.
		While Christmas Eve day is not traditionally a big sales generator, Tolley believes it could be much busier than in years past because this year it's a federal holiday, providing shoppers the opportunity to do more buying on that day.

		That’s a typical “Nicholas story,” but the most famous (and the one from which our Christmas tradition originates) is this one: there were three young women who could not get married because their father had been careless and spent their dowries and was still in debt.
		The foil-covered chocolate coins that find their way into Christmas stockings are reminiscent of the dowries, as are the stockings themselves.
		And since we’re talking about Christmas and since St. Nick is so much associated with Christmas, it seems to me that maybe his example ought to shape my understanding and practice of celebrating Christmas.
