Yes, I have to admit it's still strange even after 15 years here. The cold and possibility of snow on Christmas made it so much more. . .Christmasy! But now that I've been here a while, I have a really hard time with cold weather. Last time I experienced February in NYC, I cried walking down 14th street because I couldn't stand the icy gusts of wind!
One cool thing is how some people decorate the palm trees in front of their houses with lights. They look very beautiful. If I can find a good example I'll take a pic and post it.
