After spending the last 8 Christmases in the UK I'm not that keen on Christmas in the Summer again. I much prefer Christmas in the winter as I think the two go together much better.
In the UK Christmas is the sole focus, while here it's the end of the school and work year and the summer holidays, so poor old Christmas has to compete with all that. It's dark early in the UK so the Christmas lights look festive for a longer time each evening. Here it's almost 9.30pm before it's dark enough to see them properly.
I love the traditional roast on Christmas Day and again it is much more enjoyable when it's cold outside. But don't worry I'll always eat a roast no matter how hot it is.
Last year it had snowed in London the week before Christmas and it was still on the ground on Christmas Day. The parks looked so pretty with their covering of snow.
Mulled wine and heated mince pies are so welcome when it's cold out. Haven't had a drop of mulled wine this year.
So in my humble opinion Christmas and winter go together much better than Christmas and summer.
