A plea for a real Christmas.

[terrorlynn]

weather.com tells me that I will have no snow on Christmas. I will have no snow anywhere near Christmas. In fact, I will most likely have fucking balmy weather all around Christmas.

Needless to say, I am angry.

Now, I know a bunch of you hate winter and are probably dancing your little happy dances for there being no cold weather this year, but let me point something out to you: WINTER SHOULD BE COLD! If you dont like winter, moving to a climate in which there pretty much IS no winter might be in your best interests (except for some of you. I dont want you moving that far away from me.) Im not one of the people that freaks out about global warming all the time or anything. I accept that we are going through a climate change. I do my best to not make things worse. I dont use CFCs, and if I ever drove anywhere further than the square, I'd carpool. But in this case, something is seriously fucked up. I cant remember a Christmas since I went to college that there has been even a morsel of snow on the ground anywhere near Christmas. Hell, I can only remember one Christmas when I was in high school that there was snow! That year, I pretty much said "Fuck the presents; Im going out to play in the snow." It was a fantastic Christmas.

I know Christmas isnt about snow. I know the whole holiday season is supposed to be about loving each other, goodwill, less road rage, all that good shit. But in reality, its just another cause for good old fashioned capitalism at its finest. Most people are worried about getting the Wii or the Extreme Elmo or some stupid shit...so I dont feel all that bad for being pissed about the lack of white, fluffy precipitation in my near future.

In conclusion, if any of you have a snow machine, bring it to my parents house on Christmas. No, scratch that, bring it to my mother-in-laws. My grandpa-in-law loves Christmas and snow, and I know he'd really love to see it this year. Have a fucking heart people. Make it snow.

Oh, and go Bears!

If I could afford to move to California or Hawaii, I would. Unfortunately, it's not that simple - until next fall, I go nowhere. Anyway, I figure that people can put up with me complaining about the weather, though, since I have to put up with all the merry-happy-gifty-holiday stuff.

Well, you also arent one of the people who I have said "Damn the no snow!" to who has responded with something like, "Well, isnt the heat nice? I mean, who doesnt want a green Christmas? Snow is awful!"

Those people make me cry.

People that just like different climates are grand. If everyone liked the kind of weather I liked, I'd have no where to live :(. I loved Hawaii and California when I visited, but I felt like I was a roast chicken the whole time. Me + heat = not friends.

Um...that was me. Really gotta disable anonymous posting one of these days.

Hehe...if it was up to me, you'd have your acres somewhere nice and snowy - but maybe not so flat as Illinois?

Welcome to global warming.

Just think, one day global warming will trigger the next ice age and we'll have tons of snow. It may not be in the near future, but it'll happen.

Patience. I just need to drive to Indy to pick up Ian and Nolan on Christmas Eve. Then it can snow. All night.

We have had more than a few winter's were our first real snowfall came oddly enough on Christmas Day. Most of the major damage done to the environment is largely from industrial pollutants going up into the atmosphere, not from hairspray or car exhaust. I am not saying that it does not play a role in it, but it is far smaller than we are led to believe. Simply because it is easier to make us feel guilty for the world we now live in, rather than pointing our rage at the corporations that caused the real damage over the past 50 years.

As previously mentioned, we are a couple thousand years overdue for another ice age.

I understand it's all Heat Miser's fault.

He's too much.

I just heard that song for the first time in my whole lifetime about a week ago. Its a cover done by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, and I LOOOOOVE it. I wanna see a burlesque dance done to it where one girl is Cold Miser and one is Heat Miser.

I have an mp3 of the Heat Miser version from the original cartoon. Still looking for the Snow Miser one. You should see the cartoon. Not that it's good by any stretch of the imagination, but because, like Rudolph, it's a classic.
