    We used to have white christmases and dream of them too, now with climate change we dream of them but have green / brown ones in reality.

    I live in a northern country with cold winters. The alternative to “white Christmas” is really an icy or wet Christmas. Green would not even cross my mind.

    And certainly I prefer snow over sleet or black ice on the roads.

    If it’s not snowing, it’s still not green. It’s just grey. Grey is worse because at least the snow is pretty.

            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.

    Im not in a “cold” climate, but its the pacific northwest. It gets chilly this time of year. People still dream of white Christmases. Its the idealized Christmas.

    My red and green this Christmas is fat sweet cherry tomatoes ripening in the sun on my balcony. I would love a little rain to ease the fire danger in the hills, but I had all the snow I need for life during college. It’s funny the snowy people who said they can’t even fathom green, if it weren’t white it would be brown, they’re right about their reality but you asked for a dream. I’m living the dream.

    The other nice thing about being in Los Angeles at Christmas is that it’s quiet and there’s very little traffic, because so many people rushed off to visit the snow, either local skiing or far away.

    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.

    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.

          Lol yup, total opposite! Plus the prevalence of North American/Hollywood movies/shows usually depict snowy Christmas.
