Where you live - Do you usually have a White Christmas?

Do you wish you did/didn't?

We don't have a white Christmas very often here in Holland, but I don't mind. I hate driving in the snow, always scared I'm gonna slip, so let it snow is not my jam :P

I live in Maine, and yes, we usually have a White Christmas. I can't imagine Christmas in a warm climate, however, after Christmas it can GO! lol

Yes, we usually have a white Christmas and this year we've had too much snow already, although it's almost gone again. I honestly hate hate hate cold weather but I moved back here to be nearer to family so my kids could get to know them. I'm out of here as soon as humanly possible

We do get snow in Oklahoma but it's very random and usually not at Christmas.

It used to always be a white Christmas...... but within the past 10 years there have been a lot of warm green Christmases. For me the Snow adds to the spirit and excitement and Christmas Eve/Day is the only time I HAVE TO HAVE snow. Plus Green Warm Christmases up in Canada just do not make sense in my mind

We don't have a white Christmas very often in Belgium, but I hope for it every year! I know it's dangerous for the ones who have to drive. It doesn't snow that much in Belgium, but when it does, I want to fully enjoy it.

Maybe once in several years we "might" have a White Christmas! As long as it leaves the same day it shows up, I'm ok with that! I hate snow!!

We get a white Christmas once in a while here in Kansas. I mean, we get snow, but it isn't like the ground is covered all winter long.

While I love the THOUGHT of a white Christmas, I prefer not having one for at least the next 2 years. LOL I find myself driving to pick Kendra up immediately before and after Christmas, and I'd prefer not to drive in it.

There IS something magical about having snow on the ground on Christmas morning though!

Not usually! I'm indifferent to whether we have one. Seattle kind of shuts down when their is snow, so it's more of an inconvenience.

It's hit or miss here, this part of Michigan doesn't generally get a lot of snow. It's cold though, lol!

I don't care either way.

Pshhh, I wish we could have one White Christmas. It's so rare inthe UK Even when we do get snow, we're lucky if it fully covers the ground! I would love to go somewhere one Christmas where it snows loads so we can have snowball fights & make snowmen and snow angels!

Nope. No snow here. Not even in the winter. We have a summer Christmas and I can't imagine it any other way.

We live in Indianapolis, so it's usually a white Christmas and always a snowy winter.

I don't mind it and am thankful that I don't live in my hometown (a couple hours north of here) anymore when they have 12 inch snowfalls in early November.

Northern Utah . . . It's unusual for us NOT to have snow, and I love having a white Christmas. But, I have to admit that it doesn't seem like we get snow like we had when I was kid . . . the winters are colder with less snow than I remember from when I was little. I kind of wish it was the other way around.

Yup - white 99% of the time... there is a saying "Green Christmas - White Easter"... I think that goes back to Germany... maybe someone knows? So rather have snow at Christmas time than when it's Easter! haha There is also a saying something about "Brown Christmas, a full graveyard there will be"... but I don't remember the exact saying...

My dream is to live in a place where it if snows, it melts the next day!

It's summer for me, so hot and dry usually.

I've had a couple of white Christmases though, when I lived in Canada - including one at Whistler. It was magical!

We live in the mountains of California. Not usually white Christmas. Often is super sunny!!! I grew up in Seattle. It rained or was frozen and icy. I've only had 1 white Christmas in my whole life!

Pacific North West. No we don't get much snow. I wish we did! We had a bit more than a dusting a few days ago and my kids went nuts over it!

Not very often. I can't remember the last time we did.

I do wish we did more often, I love snow!

yep, same here in Portland. Snow would just shut down everything, so I'd rather not have snow on Christmas. One year, 2008, we had snow/ice on the ground at Christmas and just before and it caused the mail and packages to not be delivered until after Christmas. It was horrible with all the malls closed and a bunch of Amazon gifts not delivered in time. I hope to never experience that again.

Depends on the weather. I'm in NJ - about 20 minutes to NYC, and 20 minutes to the shore. We get plenty of snow... and I get sick of it after the first storm, or after the first time school shuts down. The novelty wears off then, lol!

I do like it if I am at home and don't have to leave.... I get to cozy up and hang at home, which is my preference. Unless the boys heckle me to go sledding, then we are out and about.

It depends on the year, sometimes in Nebraska we have allot of snow on christmas and other years it's t-shirt weather. I really don't mind the snow, as long as it doesn't rain then turn to snow and it's slick out. We've already had 7 inches of snow here.

Since living in Oklahoma City, yes, sometimes. In Houston, we never did (although it DID snow on Christmas a week after I moved up here.)

I live in Germany, so sometimes we have white Christmas (I think 3 time in the last 6 years). It is wonderful to see the snow, everything is so pure and calm. But it is bad, for go by car to visit the famliy and friends

Best wishes

Some years we do, some we don't. Christmas is a bit early in the winter for snow (at least snow that lasts more than a day) in this part of the country. We have snow in January, February and sometimes March though.

Being in south Texas we never have a white anything! I hate being cold but I think I'd love to experience a white Christmas. I even lived in Alaska for 2 years and didn't get one!

This will be my 6th Christmas in NH, and we haven't really had a white Christmas. One year there was a bit of slush left, but the snow that comes and stays usually doesn't come until after Christmas.

My only white Christmas was as a child in southern Arizona. It was the year I got a bike, too. Luckily it never stuck to the road or sidewalk.
