I have always wondered what a white Christmas would be like.
Usually it is baking hot here, none of the "traditional" foods make sense...

Yeah, here we celebrate Christmas with the high probability of heavy rain and flood.

Nope. Christmas just isn't Christmas without snow
I don’t live anywhere cold now, but when I did it was in an urban area. Urban snow is pretty for a couple of hours max before the cars, people, pollution, shitting dogs, etc give it a disgusting tinge. It was also miserably cold to me, regularly getting down into the 10s and 20s F (-12 to -6 C).
I wouldn’t say I was dreaming of a green Christmas necessarily, but a white one isn’t all it’s cracked up to be if you’re not living in a cottage in the woods!
I love the snow covered scenery if it’s like 30 F (-1 C) outside. We got our first big snow yesterday, and it’s definitely an improvement over browns and grays we’ve had for a month. When it’s negative degrees F though, that can piss right off.
My favorite season is spring, when the very first spring ephemeral flowers pop through the slush and mud, before the tree leaves bud out. I wouldn’t want to miss that.
No. We enjoy the shit out of spring, summer, and fall.
It won't be green because of the cold.. If it doesn't doesn't snow it is a brown / yellow Christmas.
Also you can't use your cross country skis, sleds, snowmobiles etc if there isn't any snow. No one wants to go out in the cold MUD.
I'd love to go somewhere genuinely warm right now. Normally it's okay though.
I'm sure even the most hardened of Vikings would have preferred their Christmases green so they can go from place to place easily.
