    If it’s not snowing, it’s still not green. It’s just grey. Grey is worse because at least the snow is pretty.

        I figured it was more about fresh snow. :) fresh snow in the city is at least white, and pretty in a … Chaotic sense.

    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 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.

    My red and green this Christmas is fat sweet cherry tomatoes ripening in the sun on my balcony. I would love a little rain to ease the fire danger in the hills, but I had all the snow I need for life during college. It’s funny the snowy people who said they can’t even fathom green, if it weren’t white it would be brown, they’re right about their reality but you asked for a dream. I’m living the dream.

    The other nice thing about being in Los Angeles at Christmas is that it’s quiet and there’s very little traffic, because so many people rushed off to visit the snow, either local skiing or far away.

    Judging from the answers, it seems like no. And really, most people I know that live up north go somewhere warm in January or February, so get the escape then. I’m 45 and two winters ago I had my first white Christmas. And let me tell you, it was freaking MAGIC. We got like a foot to two feet depending where you were on the property. We were exposed to someone with Covid on Christmas Eve so for the next week we were sequestered away, with food and drinks and a beautiful winter wonderland. None of us ended up with covid but my daughters best friends grandfather is immunocompromised so we’re extra careful. We made a slide off the deck, walked in the woods behind the house, lounged around, did puzzles and read books, and just generally had the most peaceful and relaxed time.

    I’ve always lived in warm places, and the Pacific Northwest now, so for me, snow is the most magic thing in the world.

    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 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.
