The current CNN “Quick Vote” poll addresses one of the divisive controversies of our time:
Are you dreaming of a white Christmas?
Yes
No
Right now the “nos” have it at 53%. [Cue Wolf Blitzer, “A reminder, this is not a scientific poll.”]
For my part, I could go for an 80 degree Christmas. But I’m not holding my breath.
There’s an outside… very outside chance of a little snow (flurries in a wintery mix) down here in Lafayette, LA… imagine that!
White Christmases suck. The best Christmas I ever spent was at the Westin Intercontinental Hotel (I think that was the name back then) in Manila, Philippines, where it was 98 degrees in the shade and I spent Christmas Day laying by the swimming pool and having gorgeous Filipina waitresses in skimpy bathing suits bringing me drinks as I needed them.
Now that’s a Christmas!
Len, I could go for that too.
