\tOne hears weather forecasters daily asking, “Will we have a white Christmas?” Adding “Stayed tuned for your forecast.” We have many children and adults wistfully looking out the windows to see if there is snow on the ground. <\/p>\n

\tBut a white December 25th largely depends on where you live and for many keeping it a dream is far better than it being an actuality.<\/p>\n
\tIn reality, a very white December 25th can mean feet of snow to shovel, no traveling, no shopping and no fun [at least for the adults.]<\/p>\n
