Top Ten Reasons I won't Move to Orlando

[sandyh67]

We will be there in 4 years at most, and I know I wont look back- ever.
DH came in from one hour of snowblowing the driveway recently, covered in snow and ice on his beard and said, as he shivered, if I ever question our decision remind me of this
I can visit in the fall - and for Christmas, then fly home to the sunshine

What is it with the White Christmas? I don't get it at all.

Why on Earth would anyone care about snow on the ground for Christmas? Most folks I know wish for no snow all the time and especially at Christmas if they have to drive somewhere.

IMO it is just more bad weather on an otherwise nice and happy day.

I can see it being odd to shop for Christmas presents without having to put on tons of gear and try balancing yourself on the ice and slush in the parking lot as you slide-stop-step your way toward the door to the mall with the bitter wind racing up at you, forcing you to squint and lower your head, then having to turn your head to get a gasp of air and getting pelleted in the face with a bunch of zinging sleet bullets...

...to just get out of the car in nice, warm temperatures and walk into whatever store you felt like without having to prepare yourself and brave the elements would be different and might seem a little strange.

But I could get flippin used to it.

Thank You!!! I am forwarding this to all my friends and family. Every time I mention moving to Orlando to anyone, they say something about a white Christmas. I could give a fig about snow on Christmas. A few years ago it was 55 here on Christmas (a true fluke) and I thought it was awesome. It was WAY better than the year we couldn't go visit family because most of the roads were closed due to the blizzard that dropped 12 inches of the vile stuff. Nope, I don't get the white Christmas thing at all. It's ONE day and I've been there, done that, seen it and I'm OVER it.

That makes them easier to avoid.

Oooo but just thinking that one of those things could be hiding in the bushes or something.....I'd have a very hard time gardening!!!
