I don't mind cold weather in December, so I'll save Florida for the post-football doldrums in late January and early February. That's when Florida is most appealing to me. Otherwise, I'll celebrate Christmas in the cold, thank you.
That's exactly why I hate winter. A cold Christmas is a nice, good, festive, stereotypical Christmas, but because Christmas comes and goes so quickly, you're left with a really, really, cold miserable post-Christmas winter, which often times last so long, that it overlaps into March and coincides with what is supposed to be some people's Spring Break. Summer, Spring, and fall never overstay there welcome the same way winter does. Have you ever experienced snow in March? I have.

I second that vote for Leavenworth, WA! I went there about two weeks before Christmas last year, and it was just amazing. It was a Friday evening- after dinner we walked out to the main street and saw the most incredible Christmas scene- the little town square had a choir of kids singing Christmas carols, the little park right next to that gazebo had kids sledding, there were tons of people in the streets taking part in it all- it was just like nothing I had ever seen before (except in cheesy Christmas movies). Loved it, we are definitely going back this year!
