Hmm... at the moment I've been blinded by sitting on the top deck of the bus, all the street lamps have lights around them.. now I'm like @_@.
It's getting colder.
I are freezing.
And knowing the weather around here, it won't be a white christmas, it'll be a gray one.
(Definition: Gray Christmas - Noun - Christmas day, where there is lots of melted snow (Slush) on the ground, the sky is gray, and it's cold and boring.)

I personally love the Christmas season. Not for the presents and commercialism, but for the spirit of it.
It's taken me a little while to get into it this year, though. We'd put up our tree and decorated at home a week ago (haven't done lights outside yet, but I'm hoping we'll figure that out this weekend, since we've never done it before). I think a lot of what dragged me down was the worry/waiting to find out about my husband's grad school, but now that he's in, everything is a lot more exciting.

We *just* finished decorating our area at work - the rest of our building has been decorated for a week now, but our stuff hadn't been taken out of storage yet. It was fun to do (especially watching my one other female coworker directing my tall male coworker in where to hang the snowflakes), and now it's cheery in here - everyone's brightened up and we were so dull earlier.

I prefer to give gifts, mainly because I like making other people happy - it makes me happy to see someone else smiling or getting excited over something they really wanted. Receiving gifts is nice, but I'm at a point in my life where there's nothing I really *want* past what I currently have (something I feel very fortunate for).

Being in Texas, I'm expecting either a rainy or hot Christmas. It *might* be cold, but I seriously doubt there'll be snow sticking on the ground anywhere near me (unless it's fake snow).

I'd kill for a proper cold snap.
We don't seem to get them here (Derbyshire) and then the moment it dips below ten the parents insist on putting the coal fire up to Bleeding hell-fire level and I get boil to death.
I'll happily wander around in freezing with nought but a shirt and jumper on and then get shouted at because I wont wear a coat when it's 6 outside.

I hate my family I think.

Derbyshire, eh? Cool. But seriously, the wind is the WORST thing EVER over here in London. I've broken about 3 umbrella's this week, the wind snapped 'em all.

I miss Hampshire.
Good proper weather there.
I've seen Three Thunderstorms since I moved, and sadly, I'm not exaggerating.
I love thunderstorms.

If it snows I plan to be making SnowSpew Nurgal a buddy.

OMG! There is a tree outside my window, it is bent nearly HORIZONTAL. Not kidding. Ick, wind. But I do love thunderstorms. *wants to go to Hampshire* Maybe you should try Colchester. It rains and storms SO MUCH down there.

I wish for warmth. *New Englander*

Wish harder lol. It ain't working.

I wish for cold.
Swap?

(It is however 5 degrees C here, so I suppose it depends on your deffinition of Warmth?

Same. 5 Degrees C. But the wind is like minus 1 billion.

Wow, 5 degrees C is waaay too cold for me. O_o Somewhere in the 20s is good, but too far and I get really hot...I'm hypersensitive to temperature. I have about a one-degree margin of comfort between too cool and too warm, and I get "freezing" or "boiling" easily.

(I'm not sure if the one degree is in C or F. Whichever is smaller, I guess.)

Minimal exaggeration here.

40 Fahrenheit is 4 Celsius (So sayeth Yahoo Weather)

If I could get the weather gods to choose one type of weather, I wouldn't care what kind of weather I got.
Instead, we've got the manic-depressive kind of weather that bounces from 40 degrees F, to 20 degrees, back up to 65...I hate this kind of thing. It also has a nasty habit of settling right on 32 and then giving us a nice devastating ice storm.

Exactly! Today was: Really hot, then cold, light rain, heavy rain, rainstorm.
Glaringly sunny but cold, and then fish rainstorm again.
