Never. Christmas time should be cold af, dark for most if not all of the day, and in deep 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.
No way. Keep your heat, I’ll be snowboarding.
The snow doesn’t bother me nearly as much as the -20 degree F temps. These nips could cut glass.
Green christmas, ain't christmas. Give me snow, lots of snow!
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
This is the song "Hot Christmas" they used to play on the radio in Florida.
And this is the wiggles on the beach singing their song "Christmas Picnic". Looks like fun!
No, a green Christmas would be extremely concerning
Shrek disagrees
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.
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
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.
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.
No. Give me snow. Give me snow year round.
Im not in a "cold" climate, but its the pacific northwest. It gets chilly this time of year. People still dream of white Christmases. Its the idealized Christmas.
I'm surrounded by pine trees, blackberry bushes, and ivy. Christmas looks pretty green to me!
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.
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.
Aussie here, to me xmas = summer time. Xmas movies always felt irrelevant, and the idea of Santa wearing all his gear is mental when it's often 40C+ and humid af.
Being cold would feel alien that time of year, even more so if it snowed because that doesn't happen in 99% of the country regardless of the time of year.
also i’ve told some US friends about my new years plans: outdoors, festival, parties kinda thing… they’re blown away by how amazing it sounds for this particular period
Lol yup, total opposite! Plus the prevalence of North American/Hollywood movies/shows usually depict snowy Christmas.
Nope. Who doesn't love the idea of a winter wonderland Christmas?
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.
I have always wondered what a white Christmas would be like.
Usually it is baking hot here, none of the "traditional" foods make sense...
Yeah, here we celebrate Christmas with the high probability of heavy rain and flood.
Same where I live. And then you see all the shop windows dressed with fake snow and people buying santa hats when it's 40⁰C out there and the whole ordeal feels so out of place
Christmas and guy Fawkes are especially out of place.
Yes, let's encourage the public use fireworks in summer. Great plan.
Nope. Christmas just isn't Christmas without snow
I love the snow covered scenery if it’s like 30 F (-1 C) outside. We got our first big snow yesterday, and it’s definitely an improvement over browns and grays we’ve had for a month. When it’s negative degrees F though, that can piss right off.
My favorite season is spring, when the very first spring ephemeral flowers pop through the slush and mud, before the tree leaves bud out. I wouldn’t want to miss that.
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. We enjoy the shit out of spring, summer, and fall.
It won't be green because of the cold.. If it doesn't doesn't snow it is a brown / yellow Christmas.
Also you can't use your cross country skis, sleds, snowmobiles etc if there isn't any snow. No one wants to go out in the cold MUD.
I'd love to go somewhere genuinely warm right now. Normally it's okay though.
I'm sure even the most hardened of Vikings would have preferred their Christmases green so they can go from place to place easily.
