Being a California girl I lived the first 35 years of Christmas holidays in shorts and sun usually. The only way to see snow was to take a drive which was about 2 hours to the local mountains. Which even then you weren't always assured snow even around the holidays. Sunscreen for Christmas was not out of the ordinary.
After we started making the trip to MO for Christmas which was usually every other year we were introduced to snow for Christmas. It was always so much fun to wake up on Christmas mornings and have snow. Of course we didn't always have the appropriate attire (warm coats were not a must in CA) but it was always a treat.
Now after living in MO for the past twelve years and having several of those years with either an inch or two or more of snow on the ground it still is something to look forward too. But I always say let it snow for Christmas Eve, a little on Christmas and then stop. That would be enough snow for me.
It is funny how snow becomes just like any other thing. When you don't have it you miss it but when the fun is gone you really don't mind if you see it again.
I will keep my fingers crossed for those few snow days.

Cindy, I like your snow plan! When my grandson was small, we had our first snow of the year on Christmas day. A week or so later, it snowed again, and he came running into the room shouting, "Christmas is back!"
