Living in the South has it's upsides and downsides. The food tastes better, the people are sweeter, and life is just a little bit slower--bless your heart. You also can't forget about the weather, which compared to our Yankee companions, is a tropical paradise. Until it isn't.

People like to make fun of us Southerners and our lack of winter savviness, but what they forget is we don't get the pretty fluffy snow everyone likes to freak out about, no, we get sleet which invariably turns into ice (#snowpocalypse). No one is prepared for ice.

But that's only some of the time. This year the weather gods have decided to smile upon us--or curse us depending on how you feel about cold weather. This Christmas it's forecasted to be 70 degrees, thanks global warming.

I guess this wouldn't be surprising if I lived in California or Hawaii, but this is Georgia, I'm not looking for a white Christmas or anything, but maybe a little nip in the air? I hate the snow, anyone who knows me knows I strongly dislike anything to do with cold weather, but there's something about Christmas that's supposed to be, I guess, chilly.

Maybe it's global warming or maybe Santa just wanted one less state to freeze his butt off in. Whoever's fault it is I just want them to take it back and give me the cold Christmas I deserve!
