    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.

    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.

      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.

    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)

    Never. Christmas time should be cold af, dark for most if not all of the day, and in deep snow.

    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.

    I live in a northern country with cold winters. The alternative to “white Christmas” is really an icy or wet Christmas. Green would not even cross my mind.

    And certainly I prefer snow over sleet or black ice on the roads.
