Is it difficult for anyone else to get into the "Christmas Spirit" at WDW or Florida in general when it's almost or above 80 degrees outside?! Bums me out a little... :-(

80 degree Christmas?

Maybe it is because I grew up in Florida, but I have never needed to freeze my baguettes off to enjoy Christmas. I'll gladly take the high temperature being close to a common thermostat setting vs the recommended temperature I set my freezer at.

After spending 60 plus years having a white Christmas, I can say, with authority, that snow and cold weather are greatly overrated. Christmas is Christmas the temperature doesn't change that, it just makes going outside more enjoyable.

This makes me laugh. I just sent a picture to my daughter from the beach this morning. We have been discussing why she should move here and join us and her 3 siblings.
This is part of why we moved here in February. We live 77 miles due east of WDW and are only 300 yards from the ocean. I cannot take cold any longer. We came from the Pacific Northwest most recently. Its currently 40 degrees there. We were there for 10 years. We were in Hawaii for 13 before that. I am originally from the Midwest. I have seen all seasons.
That under 60 at night is quite chilly. We have 2 quilts on the beds. I refuse to turn the heat on though.
FYI my house is very nicely decorated and we spend hours watching movies/listening to music/ baking to enhance the spirit. Weather does not make it. It is how you embrace it.

I hear ya. 99.9% of the time I'd rather be in warm weather over cold weather. But when it comes to CHRISTMAS, cold weather is required for accurate theming

The first Christmas when Jesus was born took place in a desert!
and more than likely in the summer.

No issue here, born and raised in Florida. I like to visit snow, but not for very long. The Christmas spirit flows through my house, uninterrupted by the lack of cold white crap outside my door. In fact, we already have our tree up and ready to go.
I enjoy my Christmas day in flip flops with my shades on!! We might even take a trip to MK this year.

First of all, none of those temps are 80 degrees. Temps are running in the 60s and 70s. It isn't hot right now in any way, shape or form. It's mostly chilly to warm.
I prefer 65 to 25, though. That is the #1 reason I chose to relocate. I was dreaming of a green Christmas.
It is a little weird to have no snow surrounding Christmas, but the thing that is weirder, for me anyway, is to have no leaves changing colors and raining down in the fall. January with no snow is just heaven.

Wimps. Try the evening Christmas Holidazzle parade in Minneapolis. Especially when it's in the 20s with a foot of snow on the ground. I'd actually rather do that than the damp 40s here on the Left coast.
So yeah, I'd pretty much kill for an 80 degree degree day about right now.

Wow, can't believe I'm in the minority here! I moved to Florida from Michigan almost 3 years ago and I HATE celebrating christmas with shorts on. Absolutely hate it. I'll take 3 feet of snow and 20 degrees over the beach for christmas every year...and almost any day of the year for that matter! Can't wait to move back, although that means being a non-local sadly.
