Cool, looks like someones might get a white Christmas, if you celebrate :sanapray:
I don't celebrate Christmas traditionally (here it's mostly a reason to hang out with friends, it's not a recognised as a holiday or a religious event) but snow for the winter season is always :sanapray: :sanapray:

Trust me: It hasn't been regarded as a religious event--at least in the US--for a long time... Its about the gifts and whether you remember to remove the price tag before you give them the gift. . . 😅 😅 Oh and a Big Ham--or Turkey--Dinner...

really?? :o then the potrayal I've seen must be different then the reality

I know gifts take up a large focus now in america, but it still seems like an extremely church oriented holiday.. a lot of people here don't even know why Christmas is celebrated.. whether you are strictly religious or an athiest celebrating for fun and memories in america, it sounded like you all still have the understanding of the holidays origins, the stories.

also I thought a lot of people put the barn and maryam and such on their lawns?

how so? I'd think in uni that's when most students would especially want a break?

They do, but its more cultural than strict adherence. And some "religious" people will go to Mass Twice a year on Christmas and Easter and not attend the rest of the year, because of the cultural aspect of the holidays. Sorta like how some religious people will go to church on sunday, but cuss, commit adultery, and do other things that would make their congregation gasp on Monday-Saturday. 🤣 🤣

edit: My brother is an atheist and he celebrates Christmas as we always have.. Gifts. Dinner. Santa Mythology. Family time that involves drinking [even though @notthatmarko wants me to stop drinking]...

Lucky! All I've gotten is rain and cold. Plus with how this state is, if it snowed a little they'd have to give us snow days which equals less school for moi and no finals.

I wish it would snow where I live, we've only gotten a small amount of snow one day and it melted before noon. :yolk:

German/Welsh grandma raised us with the fear of Krampus till we got older. Yup, nothing like good old fashioned child tramatizing.

Seriously though Christmas was never religious for me even when I was in religion. It was a time to visit the grandparents. My dads mom would make us a dry beef roast we loved despite. Dads dad would always give us a large bowl of nuts but never a nut cracker. My grandpa was an Irish troll that loved watching us kids try to figure out how to open nuts. My moms mom was way older so our Christmas meal usually consisted of some poorly made jello with some strange consistency. Always ended up with a fight with my moms sister.

Now days christmas is a time of year for poking another person and asking if their dead yet. And giving them something in appreciation for putting up with you all year.

I don't miss snow, I used to but not anymore. I went to visit snow last year slpped and fell sprained my ankle so bad it fixed a cronic issue no doctor could.

Well our break is a lot longer, we finish classes over a week before christmas and we dont go back until mid January, compared to in secondary school where we finish right before Christmas and go back right after. They're not that different but the timing makes it seem like the uni break is unrelated to Christmas sort of, idk how to describe it, whereas in earlier schools it's because of Christmas
Okay its 4 am that's why im not making sense sorry about that :wimwim:
