I actually remember being off the coast of North Viet Nam for one Christmas. The temperature was a nice cool 126 degrees. Also spent 1974 3 years after the service in the Yukon when it was 62 below. Fun times when you are young.

The closest I have come to a summer Christmas, was when
we lived in Arizona, and not the northern part. We lived in or
near Phoenix and the average temp for mid December is 65f.
That is still short sleeve weather for where I now live. So it's
quite comfortable in the winter. Unless the temps really drop
down to 55f as they did one year. You can barbeque there
all year round. And in December you might need a light
sweater on at night, but not during the day, usually. So I
would picture a summer Christmas as one barbequing and
enjoying the ability to eat outside in the fresh air. It would be
too cool to swim in a pool though. But I'd enjoy eating outside
and then driving around to see decorated homes at night
before or during Christmas Eve. If I lived in Oz, I think I'd head
to the coast if it's cooler there. And make a tradition of it
each year. Looking out over a sandy beach, might not be
the same as looking out over a blanket of snow, but you
could do worse, inland. Why not go where the mountains are.
I thought in one area you have snow? I know a friend went to
Oz on her honeymoon,and she took clothes for warm and
cool seasons, as the weather changed from one end of the
continent to the other. Maybe you could start a new tradition
and do that. Maybe there are cabins in the mountains with
snow too. It's just that you might have to travel to reach them.

I live in Canada and believe me, if we could have snow without the bone chilling cold, I'd be all for it. Everything is white now but with the weather being what it is, it could change at any moment.
In the late '60's when my mom was alive, she lived in Arizona near the Mexican border and I spent Christmas there one year. It was an awsome sight from the air, seeing all the coloured lights and it was kind of nice because the temp was in the high seventies and I had just come from a major snow storm in Ontario. I also found it humerous when my mom said I should put on a sweater before going for an evening walk. Be careful what you wish for. lol.

A white Christmas is awesome, and I don't think I would like a summer Christmas, I like the changing of the seasons, and the cold and white Christmas is a big part of it, although , we don't have them very often here in Ma. it usually snows and goes away fast as I live on the coast.

I have gotten to experience both a white Christmas and a warm Christmas, all within 250 miles of each other. I'd much rather have a warm one, then you can get out and do stuff.
I live around Oklahoma and the weather can be a bit unpredictable. Most Christmases are cool, but not cold, but no white stuff. Most others are icy, not snowy. That ice is very dangerous and annoying to deal with. Only a couple of my Christmases have been white and they didn't seem that special.

I thought it would be heaven....I moved to Florida and it was ok for the first couple years. After that I really missed the snow. Just hard to get into the spirit in a sundress. LOL Glad I experienced it but I prefere the "White Christmas" like I have now.

Yes it has crossed my mind. I wouldn't like to have no snow but if i had been brought up in a hot country then i wouldn't mind so much. I have always wanted to try Christmas in a hot country, it would be a nice change.

My daughter lives in Wisconsin and I just sent her an email WEATHER ALERT! Today it is 79 forecast is 80 tomorrow and 81 on Wednesday...and what am I to do all my shorts are in the dirty clothes hamper. She just called and said I could her 40 degrees of warmth for the holidays. I think she said it is 19 degrees at the moment.She was born and bred in the south just happened to fall in love with a guy who can't take the heat. When they visit us in Florida or we all meet in Atlanta, Georgia the poor fella just about has heat stroke. I love warm weather. Snow is pretty for about 24 hours. One snowball fight and a few snow angels and I'm ready to be beach bound baby.
