No snow? It can't be Christmas.

This morning the girls woke up and ran into our room to tell us that Santa had left slippers for them in their room. They also emphatically notified us that it could not be Christmas because there wasn't any snow. They wouldn't even go in to see their stockings and presents because it wasn't Christmas. We had to have a rather extended conversation about what part of the world we live in, why it doesn't snow here, and how it could still be Christmas without snow before they would go check for stockings and presents.
