I have often wondered if people who grew up in the south really understand Christmas songs? Can they really visualize a horse pulling a sleigh? I know we, on rare occasion, get snow and in fact several years ago woke to a white Christmas but those are few and far between. Yesterday I heard a song the supports my belief. In fact it was a Christmas song that must have been written by a Southerner. The song was Let it Snow. As I listened I started to think would a person who grew up having to drive in that stuff or shovel it or pay to heat a house covered by it really say let it snow let it snow? I do not think so. Sure if you know the temperature in the afternoon will climb into the 60’s and melt that fraction of an inch of accumulation, you may sing let it snow. However, if you live where snow fall is measured in feet not inches you would NEVER EVER joyfully sing let it snow.
Just a thought.

Hi Dave,
After living in Utah for several years and having to shovel all that blasted snow I have to agree with you!
I don't mind the cold but you can have the snow!
