Nope. Who doesn't love the idea of a winter wonderland Christmas?

No. We enjoy the shit out of spring, summer, and fall.

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!

No. Give me snow. Give me snow year round.

I spent Christmas one time in Australia. It was surreal. I don't think I'd ever get used to that, so, not me.

I often wonder if people who live in Australia feel a similar way considering how Christmas time is typically depicted.

No.

We get around 48" per year. I love this shit.

I wish I got 48" every year 😔

Or at least like 2", once

Depends on the person. It sometimes gets into the negative double digits F where I live. Its forecasted to snow around Christmas and I'm hyped as fuck.

I used to live further North and I miss the snow. We still get some here, but it typically melts off within a week or two.
