Tasmaina, Austalia here, gets to 23c around Christmas where I am.
I’d not live somewhere where it snowed, id not live in the tropics (I used to do the latter from being a kid until it got too much and I left)
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
Yeah. Sitting by the pool in 25c watching the kids have a swim
I did spend 10 years in northern England from 2000 and a cold possibly white Christmas took ages to get used to
actually the closest thing i think we could probably say to americans is: our christmas is like 4th of july… but it’s the whole christmas and new years… we get 4th of july holiday for a whole month or more
Lol yup, total opposite! Plus the prevalence of North American/Hollywood movies/shows usually depict snowy Christmas.
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.
Green christmas, ain’t christmas. Give me snow, lots of snow!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Only Heatmiser
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 has enough to accommodate 48" (with enough training), or even more.
2 inchers that last one thrust are very easy to find on lemmy
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. Give me snow. Give me snow year round.
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.
