Every year I totally despise it. Last winter was the worse, and here we go again, they are forecasting an even worse winter.

I seriously looked at jobs in FL, it's difficult to get a work permit though. Iv'e checked into that.

stuckinsc - the further south you go the better it will be. We had mid 80's all week. Cooler in the mornings and evenings, but gorgeous during the day.

RL- snow days already?

I love this tweet by Ed.

So did hackers make winter early?  And if so, hackers, this is not a funny joke.

Orlando for one night, then Marco Island for a week and then back to Orlando, I figure by Thanksgiving week Orlando will be back in the 80s, it never stays cold down there for long. I miss home, nothing for hubby to do there, but man I miss home.

The closest I've been to snow is up in Big Bear. It's barely starting to get in the 60's-55's and that's considered winter to us here.

I like all the change of seasons. Don't get me wrong, I am not a winter fan, but in order to get 3 I guess I have to put up with 4.
I don't think I could live in Florida year round.

I like wearing shorts & flip flops so living in Texas suits me even with the hot summers. We do get winter but fall is a crap shoot. This fall was warm so it's like we skipped it straight to winter. We were wearing shorts one day last week and winter coats the next.

Nothing like raking 5 bags of leaves with frost on the ground and winter gloves, instead of gardening gloves.

I'll take flip flops any day all day all year!

I used to like all four seasons. Then one by one they get crossed off my like list. Spring is messy ugly with mounds of dirty snow that hasn't melted. Summer is 80 one day 55 the next. Winter is unbearable. Fall used to be my favourite, but now the last couple of years, it's so cold with flurries before the trees drop all their leaves. Who keeps a winter shovel and a rake handy? A Canadian!

I'm out of seasons to like.

My husband says Christmas should involve snow, I prefer Christmas on the beach. Season are okay, but like Albean, my shorts and sandals all year would work for me.

I love FL this time of year. Christmas decorations are out, Christmas lights are on, 80's and no snow.

One of my favorite memories of Christmas was one we spent at Disneyworld. We had a 5th wheel then and camped at the campgrounds onsite the week before Christmas which was great because we had all the benefits of the hotels plus we could bring gifts & a little tree. The parks were magical and our boys were the right age (11 & 8) to enjoy it all.

Wow bean you are bringing back memories. I too camped at the Disney grounds years ago. It wasn't Christmas time, but I'm sure it was gorgeous that time of year.

A lot of people put up lights around their trailers and tents, GA. It was so pretty with the trees & all. The parks were incredible. They even had pretend snow some nights during the parade. 

Love when Disneyland is set up for Christmas time! It's the best.

The first time I went to Florida was a road trip before my son was born, all the way to the Keys.

We camped at Disney and it was great considering I was not thrilled about camping. I took my son there twice, when he was young, went to Universal 6 yrs ago or so, but never been back to Disney because I go to Ft Myers Beach every year.

I never thought of going during Christmas. I know I would love that!

There are a couple of trailer parks on Ft Myers Beach and they go crazy with lights, along with the rest of the condos/houses. It's so pretty.

See? I don't need the snow to enjoy the lights!
