    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.

    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.

    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.

        Yup. Though I do understand many people can’t afford to move, most that I know wouldn’t want to even if they could.

    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 used to have white christmases and dream of them too, now with climate change we dream of them but have green / brown ones in reality.

    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)
