Once upon a time a man wrote a song that made Christmas what it is today. Well I guess there were plenty of other songs that added to the modern Christmas, but "White Christmas" is the song that set the standard for one important element of what we think Christmas should have-snow. Just think about any Christmas movie, especially those set in warm locations like California. What has to happen in order for the story to have a truly happy ending? That's right there has to be snow.
Now look at what is happening this year. The white Christmas that moved all the way down to Georgia is closing down a large part of the country. There have also been problems in Europe as well. Transportation problems existed on both sides of Christmas and there are plenty of people still waiting to see if the airlines can get the snow cleared up so they can get where they are going.
Don't get me wrong, I'm going to continue hoping for a white Christmas. That won't change, but I think it's time to stop making such a big deal about snow being a mandatory part of the Christmas season. That's my opinion on the matter. What do you think? Leave a comment below.
