Christmas weather often means snow for those living in the northern and mid western States. For those in the southern portion of the US, snow is rare but cool to possibly cold weather is the norm. Candles, choirs, red and white are the colors of Christmas, with the white representing the snow of course. This is common Northern Hemisphere December.
In the Southern Hemisphere of course, things are quite different. Sydney, Australia luxuriates in a balmy 77 degrees come Christmas time and the beaches are busy. Santa’s elves may wear fur vests at the North Pole but south of the equator, shorts is the order of the day. Rio DeJaneiro typically welcomes Christmas with bottles of suntan lotion, averaging a steamy 88 degrees in late December.
So the next time you see your breath come Christmas time, just remember that somewhere down there someone is thinking of how they can beat the heat.
