Let It Sun,Let it Sun, Let it Sun The weather outside is delightful.

Why the birth of Christ is associated with snow is beyond me. I would prefer a warmer climate, but without the big insects..lol

Dear Hatley i am 65, have never seen snow, because in india, we don't have snow in most places, i have seen snow only in movies, wish i visit Kashmir in north india soon with my wife and grand kids, where there is snow and play like kids, but my health is problem as i always say. Thank you so much for this discussion. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. . Merry Christmas HAPPY NEW YEAR

It is not all that rosy to be in a tropical climate. The weather is fine but the heat is so hot that going outside is like being baked in the hot oven. I have to use double coat of sunscreen to protect my skin from the hot rays of the sun. Even going outdoor for few minutes will make the skin sweaty and sticky. But the cold winter is no better than the hot sun I guess. I don't think I like wearing layers of garments during winter. But I dream of having white christmas which I never experience.

I'm with you Hatley, I like my sunshine Although today is rather a dreary looking day up here in the desert and it appears to have already rained a little. Still, better rain than snow

It´s Christmas here, in the south hemisphere and tomatos are ripening in my garden, the apricot tree is full of it´s bounty and fake Santas are scalding themselves with those costumes while I´m at home in shorts. Yes, Hatley, it´s Summer here. No snow. Yes to the sun! I used to want to see a white Christmas and I got my wish when I was 11 and we went for a year and a half to the US. Fortunatly I was that age: I could not bear it at my age now. I not only like sun: I need it.

So glad that you have fine weather in your place well what's sunny and fair in your country would still be considered cold in mine. Guess we all appreciate a little cold wind cause we associate that with the smell of Christmas and consider it a break from the heat, same way the summer heat reminds us to take a vacation or a trip to the beach or the pool, wish you the best and hope it stays that way in your place always, perfect as you want it to be

Well, I have lived where there are White Christmas almost every yr. and now I live where only occassionally have I seen one, and some yrs. very little snow to boot as well. For me, the only day I really ever wished it would snow is Christmas. I do enjoy the warmer weather though as well. Just too me I enjoy the scenery from a white christmas as long is it is not too bad to drive in.

I do like the Snow Patsy it just seems to make Christmas more Christmas A white Christmas is what gives me the Christmas Spirit We might have it this year as we have had so much Snow over the last few weeks lol but again I guess it will stop snowing now and start again after Christmas Merry Christmas with much Love from me and your little Man in the Doggie Suit

Here we are in April, the weather is just about perfect, and I have a cold. Yuk. It is beautiful and my fruit trees are in various stages of bloom. I planted new tulips last year and they have flowers as well. I am so glad you are done with the pain pills. Getting rid of that extra long walk helped too, I am sure. Of course it may have built up your strength even though it did hurt. Have a great day Hatley.

I've never seen snow. I've been listening to the news about the weather in England and some places in the US and you can have those blizzards, low temperatures, slush, and all the other horrid stuff that goes with a white Christmas. Give me Christmas in the sun where it sizzles and I'll be as happy as an emu, mate. Cheers.

You really are lucky to live in such a delightful place with perpetually good weather. We used to live in Florida and it's supposed to be some kind of paradise with pleasant weather all the time. But, that's just a myth. Florida is really a place of great weather extremes. During the summer, it hovers around 100 degrees, so scorching hot you can't go outside without burning. And, during the winter, it's easily in the twenties (sub-freezing temps). There was more than one night when my power went out during a hard freeze, cause of a local mishap with the power lines. And, we almost froze. It was hard to stay warm. I'm just so happy to be done with that place. Since relocating to Georgia, I've had the worst luck with my health and my family's health. But, at least the weather is predictable. Of course, it's cold now. But, we're prepared with some really great Walmart heaters that keep us all toasty warm. My daughter got to see her first snow last year, barely an inch on the ground, mostly ice. She insisted on going outside and then came back inside an hour later to report that her feet were blocks of ice. Of course, they weren't, but it was cute the way she said it. She made a miniature one foot tall snow man. Cutest thing I'd ever seen. Wish I'd had my camera then so I could take pics and share.

Hi. Hatley. I also love it when the sun is out on a cold wintry day. It is so pleasant then. I love the way that the air feels against my face. I have never seen a snow storm or a blizzard before. My aunt told me that we had a blizzard in this town many of years ago. This was before I was even born.

Hiya Hatley, Oh yes let it Snow. But it is not snowing here at the moment it has been trying to but it has´nt given in yet. The Sun is still shining but it´s bitterly cold now. So we may well wake up to a Snow White Christmas Day. Your Son has never seen a Snow Storm? Well I never. I have walked to Work in so many frozen to the bone that indeed I would not have minded a green Christmas then. Green Christmas has it´s advantages too you are right. You can enjoy the Christmas Season but without all that cold Weather. My Home Town for example has been having temperatures of 18 degrees below zero at night for the past seven Days or more and heavy falls of Snow. So I think that they would welcome a green Christmas too. Home Town is Wolverhampton Staffordshire England U.K. Have always had the worst of all the Weather in the Winter from up North you know Lancashire and Yorkshire. Also we are very close to the border of Wales which is my favourite part of the U.K. Have seen the Weather over there too lot´s of Snow Falls really heavy ones. Have a really nice Christmas Hatley enjoy it the best way you can. Hugs. Sue.xxx

The city where i live has a hot climate, if you come here ever you will feel like sitting on a frying pan, there is no snow, what to speak of snow storm lol Even during winter nights temp remains around 16 degrees celcius, i have seen snow in movies only, mostly in love scenes, they sing songs, throw snow balls over each other.. Thanks for this discussion Happy posting, cheers. Namastey. Kalyani

I used to love my sunny Southern California Christmases. Right now it's looking more like a gloomy northern California Christmas.

I honestly would not mind at all if I never see snow again, not after last winter! We got over eight feet of snow in total last winter and I hope I NEVER see that much again. Christmas is Christmas, snow or no snow. We have snow on the ground right now but it's only a couple of inches. THAT I can handle but, if we started having winters that never got cold enough for snow, I'd be extremely happy. Anyone who knows me knows that gardening is my first love and it makes me sad to see the gardening season come to an end and to have to put everything away for the winter. If we had green outside all year long, that would be SO nice. I honestly think I'm on the wrong coast. Hmmm, you know, it's very strange how snow became associated with Christmas, I mean, considering where the birth of Jesus took place.

not going to jump on you for that girl. just last night i was thinking from how cold it is here and yet in phoenix we never see beautiful snow to make up for any dreadful cold. but since my knees was pretty cold, i thought maybe the kids were right and if i was back in ohio i couldnt stand it and would be complaining about that to

Hi Hatley, I am very late with my responses so I hope the weather is still glorious where you are. We are in the summer here and it is very hot. The weatherman predicts Christmas day will be 38 degrees Celsius so it is going to be a tad warm to say the least! I saw snow when I lived in Northern Italy and we spent our holidays over the border in Switzerland. I wish I could afford to travel to Switzerland now from Australia! We could just drive there in less than a day back then! Anyway, that was the last time I ever saw snow!

I grew up in Chicago, so I have seen my fair share of snow storms. I now live down near Chattanooga, TN...where we rarely see a lot of snow, or so I thought. We recently moved up on a mountain, so we do see some snow and actually it has snowed several times this year already. Today the forecast says it is suppose to get up to the 50s today...yippee!! That is the weather we normally have for this time of the year. My husband has been freezing lately, but then again, he is originally from South Cali and 30-40 degree is freezing for him!

I used to live in a warm climate. And every year at Christmas time, I used to see these pictures of White Christmases and wished that I could experience one of those. And then we moved here. And then I learned to hate the snow (and driving through it). So, it became a 'be careful what you wish for...' I would love a green Christmas!
