It's rainy
and cold everywhere, with increased
air pollution in some cities.
Eastern
Turkey is in the icy grip of winter.
Ankara and
the rest of Central
Anatolia may be covered in
snow.
Istanbul is
rainy and bone-chilling, but with intermittent
sunny days and perhaps some snow.
New
Year's Day (January 1)
is a holiday, the commercial,

with decorations in shops, lots
of shopping, exchanges
of gifts and greeting cards.
Orthodox
Christmas is celebrated
on January 6th (Armenian Orthodox)
or 7th (Greek Orthodox), when Istanbul's
Orthodox churches are filled with
worshippers and the Armenian and
Ecumenical Patriarchs make
the rounds to bless their flocks.
The Islamic minor
festival of Asure falls
in January in 2008 and 2009. More...
