No, because snow is nice and beautiful. The problem is, we don’t get a white christmas (or have snow for most of the winter) every year, because where I live we mostly either get wet warm winds which lead to rain or we get cold dry winds which just lead to cold days without snow.
I live in the north of Sweden. I always hope for a white Christmas. If there’s no snow, it’s so dark, and gloomy. A few hours of sunlight in a day. No snow usually means it’s cold enough for rain and a little bit of snow, but also warm enough to melt it to turn it into slush.
So definitely, we always hope for a crisp, snowy Christmas. Every year. More opportunities for outdoor activities then, too.
Go to Russia and snow will be, 100%
It used to snow and I would get tired of it, but now that doesn’t happen much anymore …i don’t mind it if it does.
We can like snow in December. Hate it until next december. We will have brown Christmases some years, and there is a sense of disappointment over it.
Last year I had the all you can eat mexican buffet on Christmas eve. I ended up having a “brown Christmas.”
Interesting question. I live in Belgium and… well first of all I don’t care for Christmas. I do like to celebrate with family and friends but the religious celebration itself, no. Second I never actually considered it. I do love snow and ice. I recently took on ice skating and… even though I also love the Summer where I can roller blade and skate, knowing that something else is coming is a genuine joy.
So… I can’t speak for others but I absolutely love the Winter, from hot chocolate to waffle outside to ice skating, hikes in the snow then relaxing by the file place, there is just so much to look for during that season that … never dreamt of “a green Christmas”.
Edit: I actually had one last year, going to Madeiras, Portuguese island West of Morocco, North of Africa, and… that was fine too. Honestly truth is I don’t really care where and how as long as we share a good time.
We live in cold climates because we like cold climates. 😉
This; it’s only 3 months out of the year (well, at least the snow) and I like that there’s variety in my year.
Being an adult also means I get to choose when I go out, now, so the cold/snow bothers me even less.
But, like you said, I also live here because I like snow.
Yup. Though I do understand many people can’t afford to move, most that I know wouldn’t want to even if they could.
No. But, lately it’s not white on christmas.
Tasmaina, Austalia here, gets to 23c around Christmas where I am.
I’d not live somewhere where it snowed, id not live in the tropics (I used to do the latter from being a kid until it got too much and I left)
Only Heatmiser
Never. Christmas time should be cold af, dark for most if not all of the day, and in deep snow.
No way. Keep your heat, I’ll be snowboarding.
I like to pretend that song is racist as fuck and then pretend to be upset every time it comes on the air. It amuses me.
It’s also fun to pretend that it’s about cocaine.
We do not.
The snow doesn’t bother me nearly as much as the -20 degree F temps. These nips could cut glass.
