Day 9 – Christmas Is Meant for Cold WeatherThe idea for this post just came to me and boy am I glad it did. This one is yet another topic in the long line of things I’m passionate about. The facts are simple, obvious, logical and backed by common sense.
Christmas is meant to be celebrated in the cold weather.
Sorry folks out in California, Florida, and wherever else the average temperature for late December is higher than 50 degrees. You lose. You’ve made a pivotal mistake in your life that unfortunately for you and your family you can not take back. You have decided to put a Christmas Tree up in your living room and wear shorts and flips while doing it.
One word – Wrong.
Let me ask you this, seriously, while shopping at your local strip mall for little Billy’s stocking stuffers are you really feeling the holiday spirit when it’s 75 degrees and the palm trees are swaying?
No. You’re not.
Christmas is meant to be comfortable. It’s meant to be paired with hot chocolate and eggnog (ahem, foreshadow for a future blog). It’s meant to have fireplaces and roasted chestnuts. Its meant to have a “chance of snow” tomorrow…not that it ever does.
It’s meant to have images of evergreens, snowstorms, reindeer and icicles not cacti, sandstorms, locusts and sunscreen. Nothing looks worse than an image of Christmas lights on a palm tree. Its laughable really.
So think about it. Do you want to be laughable?

Sorry, Greco....I grew up in Alabama, and I have no problem with a warm weather Christmas.
