I don't care what anybody says about this "White Christmas" bullshiess--SNOW SUX no matter what time of the year you get it. HATE IT, HATE IT, HATE IT!!!

Blasphemy.

And Wendy, I'm one of those people you are describing. You are right, that Christmas isn't a temperature... it's just that, when you grew up with the magic of a Winter Wonderland, and then you come to a hot seasonless climate... you feel like someone sucked the life force out of Christmas. The holiday cheer is there, but it's kind of like the sad sort. Like "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas".

We have seasons in Miami. The changes aren't so severe, like "Up North".

I love Summer: bright perfect sunshine, hot, hot, hotness, daily rain, and sudden, heavy thunderstorms up to 5 times a week. Luxurious, too hot for non-natives, dangerous.

Our fall is like magic: warmness with sweet breezes, outside parties and concerts, and the beautifully cool, non-humid nights with the magical moons. Romantic to the core.

Spring brings bright exotic flowers and fruits to every corner. Tasty fun.

We don't have a consistently cold winter but like I've previously mentioned, too many days of cold kill my spirit. This is also the time where people whip out their binoculars to marvel at the billions of birds that have come down to visit us and escape the Winter Wonderlands.

Maybe Miami is nicer than here, but we have two seasons: hot and wet or cold and dry. And 3/4 of the year is hot and wet. Hot also includes subcategories such as "suffocating", "melting", and "kill you face".
