Do You Prefer A Wintry Christmas Or A Summer Christmas?

by , 5 months agoOpen Question

Christmas comes in the middle of extreme hot Summer season in some countries like Australia and New Zealand I believe.

I love a winter Christmas with the snow falling, log fires and holly and mistletoe. I can't imagine having Christmas in the summer season with warm weather but I suppose you have to improvise to make it a good day.

My perference is wintry but I know that such wipeouts cause many such misery that the period of goodwill disapates and is replaced with bah humbug!

As a compromise one day of perfect snow, with snowmen, chestnuts roasting on an open fire and mulled wine a la Bing Crosby in White Christmas!

Parchester has got it right, I think. One day of magical snow, then back to normal so no misery on the roads and getting snowed in.

I can't imagine Christmas in Australia with a barbie on the beach!

Ooh I love Parchester's idea, perfect snow as long as I'm snuggled up warm in front of a fire, with a cat on my lap, and my dog at my feet, a good book and a glass of something nice :)

Absolutely perfect, jazzj!

It has to be at home in the cold snowy wintry day for me!! That's how its known as the way it's meant to be. I love the idea of xmas tree lit up log fire burning and the smell of the xmas dinner cooking. I like the films on tv and the xmas programmes and watch the queen's speech (always intriguing) and quite partial to a game of scrabble with my daughter. I enjoy the time off in general so relaxing but i can bet there always will be a client that will text to make an appt for when she can have her next eye brow wax!!! This drives me nuts but it always happens!!!

by Jazzj, 5 months ago

I'm going to end up looking like a plucked chicken at this rate :)

by Jazzj, 5 months ago

Honestly Jazzj every christmas day i get a text from a client regarding an appt!!

by serena1, 5 months ago

That's terrible Serena!! Do they think you have nothing better to do?? And I guess you have to be polite to them........................

by Jazzj, 5 months ago

Years ago i would take my diary out and reply not now i just ignore it!! I get so many lovely xmas texts then when i see this one it deflating!!!

by serena1, 5 months ago

Definitely a sparkly snow-covered wintry Christmas. I have family in Australia and they send photos of them all in their bikinis and shorts having a Christmas barbie...I think they hope I'm green with envy...I'm not, I'd hate that!

I'm not keen on that either fruitcake, guess I'm a traditionalist

by Jazzj, 5 months ago

Woundn't it be nice if it could be warm and sunny but with snow on the ground?

by EmmaMarie, 4 months ago

Think it needs to be a bit chilly to feel like Christmas!

by Jazzj, 4 months ago

Not in my books... :)
