I love the tackyness and the lack of snow. I don't like cliche Christmases.

How does Christmas suck there??? Isn't Christmas more about sharing gifts and spending time with family moreso than the weather. I think you have your priorities mixed up on Christmas.

I'm with Polo; I have no problem with warm Christmases.Get to go outside and enjoy the weather; I see cold weather on Christmas pointless without snow.

I like Christmas here. its not warm, but it's not too cold either. I like when it gets to the 30's but dry. I don't mind stuck snow, but the slush snow gets annoying fast so I prefer our cool dry christmas's

Probably depends on where you're from I guess. My friend moved to Naples from Chicago and always said Christmas time was by far the most depressing time for her in southern Florida. She said it all just came off tacky as someone from up north, and there was none of the christmas spirit anywhere that she was use to. Just seemed very bizarre-cliche.

I think it's just people up north not use to dealing with warm Christmases.

Oh, NYC, of course. There is no comparison on earth.

Manhattan at this time of year is probably the most magical place on earth There is simply nothing else like it. When you are there, you realize what all those songs, stories and movies are: they are reflections, memories, images of Christmastime in New York City.

I would say NY
Just Rockefeller Center puts one hell of a x-mas decoration
LA is getting much better but it lacks x-mas tradition and snow!

The North is the KING of cliche Christmases. Going around caroling in the snow. And I previously stated that I enjoy tacky Christmases, and Florida meets that mark.
