We've definitely got plenty of lists on the best festivals around, but what are some of the best winter festivals around? Definitely Winter Solstice, also known as Dong zhi in China and Yule in Germany. There's the Fur Rendezvous in Anchorage, Alaska where they have dog sled races, snow sculptures and snowshoe football (that might not be too easy!) Carnaval de Quebec in Quebec City, Canada is always a good one. In Scotland the Fort William Mountain Festival in Febrauary is meant be incredible. And one I've always wanted to go to; The International Hot Air Balloon Meeting in the Swiss Alps. Anyone have any others to add to the list? -------------------- ~Susie 'Yesterday's the past and tomorrow's the future. Today is a gift - which is why they call it the present.'
