Do you long for a White Christmas?

[Jeannette]

I do. It's been years since we had a White Christmas. Every year I hope it will happen, but every years it turns out to be windy and rainy. I love snow, and snow and Christmas, it gives the holidays so much more magic. And I still believe in magic

 

[AnaSantos]

Oh, it would be nice, I think!! I never had a white Christmas in my life, Portugal is a bit hot for that, LoL

Does it ever snow in Portugal?

 

[tanteva]

We've had some snow, it was actually total chaos a week ago. But, it's warm again, and it's basically just a mush right now. Hoping for more snow before Christmas. I want snow from October/November til February/March please. It gets so dark in Sweden during winter, but the snow helps light the world.

 

[pachimac]

No. I love seeing snow. I don't love being in it.

O yes, snow lightens up the world. I can image that is nice during a Swedisch winter.

No snow at all. But you do live close to the sea. I want to visit Portugal sometime. I think it's a beautiful country!

Yes, sea is all around me. It takes me 15´ this days to get there. When I was young all I needed to do was look, LoL

 

[AnaSantos]

Does it ever snow in Portugal?

yes, in the north in the high mountain of Serra da Estrela but not every year, LoL

Wow, I had no idea. Thought you had summer and sun all the time.

 

[AnaSantos]

True, sunny all the time

I would love to have snow for Christmas. Nice fresh, white snow. But, alas, to have snow on Christmas, you need to be willing to take snow for many days...and it turns brown and ugly. So, now that we live in Florida, there will be no snow for us.

 

[tanteva]

We will know tomorrow. Old Swedish tradition says that if the weather is warm and the snow it slushy tomorrow, then the Christmas will be cold. (and the other way around). This is a saying as old as the earth, it has to be true. LOL

Snow is beautiful to look at ... and it is nice for the children to play outside ... but I don't like driving through it by car ... and I certainly don't like clearing snow ... If when it snows a few cm, it is immediately chaos in Belgium ...

 

[AZK]

I love it when there is snow at Christmas time! Having said that, I don't like driving in it and after the holidays, I'm fine without it. The general feel here in Michigan is that it is probably not going to be a white Christmas, though.

We lived on the coast of BC (Vancouver area) for most of my life and they get more rain and slush than snow. Every year at Xmas we would hope for snow and only got it a few times over the years. Now that I live in the interior of BC, we get colder temps and lots more snow. We've already had lots of snow and more coming this week. We are really enjoying the white landscape.

 

[Jam-on-toast]

White Christmas is the right kind of Christmas, but the weather rarely cooperates. We get around it by going skiing for Christmas - this way, even if it's rain and slush down there, up in the mountains snow is guaranteed.

 

[Buddy the O' Elf]

of course , here in the north pole Santa and I are used to lots of snow

 

[melscrap]

A girl with a hot hot hot summer Christmas can dream right?

 

[VickiStegall]

A white Christmas in Oklahoma is a rarity! But we hope for it every year!

 

[Amandajk]

I grew up having several feet of snow every winter!!! Miss it quite a bit. We have been hearing there is a possibility for it Christmas week. HOPE SO!!

 

[EvelynD2]

Ana, we hosted a lovely exchange student from Portugal!

 

[EvelynD2]

We live in Tennessee so we don't usually have a white Christmas but I sure would love one!

 

[Cherylndesigns]

I wouldn't mind one, just for the day then it can go away. Haha

 

[Jeannette]

Yes, that would be great!!

O yes, Christmas in the Summer, that seems so strange to me. Keep on dreaming though!

 

[Jeannette]

O how I envy you Buddy!

Awh, that's a good way to have a white Christmas. Here in Europe there is hardly enough snow anymore to ski. They need more and more fake snow to get ski, which isn't good for the climate. But I do understand the people who have to live from the tourists coming to ski. Decisions aren't always easy.
I wish you a wonderful white Christmas!!

Same here in the Netherlands. It's like people are panicking a the first sight of snow.
