Why do so many people, even those in the tropics dream of a White Christmas?
There’s just something about having a white Christmas that makes it perfect and complete. It’s so exciting, especially for children to wake up and find snow on the ground - even better yet, coming down on Christmas morning. As cold and dreary as a day like that can be, it promotes warm fuzzies when it happens on Christmas. Many children get sleds for christmas and that can be a bit of a let down if they have to wait until Jan or Feb to use them!
No one in the tropics expects to have a white Chirstmas but they can still visualize the perfectness of it all. Personally, it would be hard for it to feel like Christmas to me if it wasn’t at least cold!
The song "I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas" started it all written by Irving Berlin for the movie "Holiday Inn" back in 1942 and sung by Bing Crosby. It is one of the best selling hits of all time and will be played many years after his death
Here are the lyrics:
The sun is shining, the grass is green,
The orange and palm trees sway.
I’ve never seen such a day,
But it’s December the 24th
And I’m longing to be up north.
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know,
Where the treetops glisten
And children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.
The chorus is repeated three more times. You don’t have to look very far when you are shopping for Christmas cards to see many with a tranquil snowy scene showing off a white Christmas.
