Florida is a cultural wasteland, palm trees or no.

St. Petersburg has the Dali Museum, that's gotta count for something.

Move to Acapulco, Mexico instead. The weather is better than in those places and everything is cheaper.

Went to Hawai'i last Christmas to visit my fiance's family. It was pretty strange. Firstly, about a week before Christmas we went to a Hawaiian civic club meeting/christmas party hosted by her grandparents. During this time there was singing of christmas songs among them "walking in a winter wonderland." We didn't quite get into white christmas which would have been too much for me, but I still found it funny. I'm from Western Oregon and it basically never snows there either but somehow it being in the 70s is completely different than the mid 40s and raining.

It's weird to be sweating a ton because it's hot and humid in late december but you get over it. It was really not a difficult decision to go back there this year. Last year we actually swam in the ocean on christmas day. It's pretty damn nice.

Christmas is not the same without snow!!!

I've never seen snow on Christmas. I grew up in Oregon where it only snows in the mountains for the most part. I am a grad student in Pittsburgh now but I'm not around during christmas time.
