"It's nice to have snow at Christmas." [View all]

I've heard this all my life, to which I say Bah humbug! It may be nice to have snow on a Christmas card, but it's not nice to have snow on the ground at Christmas. You don't have to shovel it because it's Christmas? You don't have to scrape it off your windshield because it's Christmas? You don't have to drive in it because it's Christmas? The snowy roads aren't dangerous because it's Christmas? It doesn't turn all black a few days later because it's Christmas?

If you think I'm wrong, please tell me why. 😉

By the way, the weatherman is predicting it'll be in the 40s on Christmas day here in southeast Michigan to which I say "YAHOO!" Time to get out the shorts.....
