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.
It used to snow and I would get tired of it, but now that doesn’t happen much anymore …i don’t mind it if it does.
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.
Last year I had the all you can eat mexican buffet on Christmas eve. I ended up having a “brown Christmas.”
We live in cold climates because we like cold climates. 😉
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.
Never. Christmas time should be cold af, dark for most if not all of the day, and in deep snow.
No. But, lately it’s not white on christmas.
No, a green Christmas would be extremely concerning
Shrek disagrees
No.
We get around 48" per year. I love this shit.
I wish I got 48" every year 😔
Or at least like 2", once
… that’s what she said…
I’m so sorry.
That was the intention, haha
I overthought this and wondered if a 48" thing can really go all the way in, but I was surprised to know that “The average erect penis is longer than the average vagina. ” and that it’s not really possible to ‘break through’ the cervix and go further.
Even ignoring girth, it’d probably be very painful for her (without training, I suppose) if someone just rams their 40" into her.
I mean even if it was 48" in total yearly, that’d be 8 6-inchers or 9 5-inchers. I’d be fine with that :p
And I forgot that large loads can go by the back entrance. XD
It’s probably have enough to accommodate 48" (with enough training), or even more.
2 inchers that last one thrust are very easy to find on lemmy
We do not.
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.
i mean, australia we have summer christmas and it’s kinda amazing… new years and christmas parties and festivals outside are amazing
Go to Russia and snow will be, 100%
No way. Keep your heat, I’ll be snowboarding.
Interesting question. I live in Belgium and… well first of all I don’t care for Christmas. I do like to celebrate with family and friends but the religious celebration itself, no. Second I never actually considered it. I do love snow and ice. I recently took on ice skating and… even though I also love the Summer where I can roller blade and skate, knowing that something else is coming is a genuine joy.
So… I can’t speak for others but I absolutely love the Winter, from hot chocolate to waffle outside to ice skating, hikes in the snow then relaxing by the file place, there is just so much to look for during that season that … never dreamt of “a green Christmas”.
Edit: I actually had one last year, going to Madeiras, Portuguese island West of Morocco, North of Africa, and… that was fine too. Honestly truth is I don’t really care where and how as long as we share a good time.
If it’s not snowing, it’s still not green. It’s just grey. Grey is worse because at least the snow is pretty.
Snow becomes pretty ugly pretty quick, at least in cities.
Grey christmas it is, every year.
I figured it was more about fresh snow. :) fresh snow in the city is at least white, and pretty in a … Chaotic sense.
