We just want a cold Christmas for once!

The hardest and most heartbreaking thing that I find that I come across the most living in Florida is the fact that it almost never gets as cold as you think it should be around the holidays. It's even harder to tell people from up north that they won't expect a white Christmas or the temperature dropping below 70 degrees on most days.

If I could have it the way I wanted all the time, I would want Florida to stay sunny and 70 all year round. However, I find myself getting laughed at because people ultimately move to Florida to get away from the cold. But, it's getting to the point where having 80 degrees Christmas Days' is getting a little much. I don't know if it's because I'm not originally from Florida, or sweating through my Christmas pajamas is asinine.

Anyway, here are three major differences between the normal Florida folk, and people who just want it to get cold already.

1.) Temperature gets below 80 degrees once

Most Floridians:

Me:

I actually get to break out my sweaters and boots without dying for once? Wait, why are people dressed like it's snowing? This is the major difference between Floridians and non-Floridians. When it gets to 70 degrees, I like to open every single window I own, not turn my heat up.

Bonus points if it stays below 80 the entire day.

2.) Decorating for Christmas

Most Floridians:

Me:

If you have a palm tree as your Christmas tree, there's a 99.9% chance that I'm judging you for your Christmas plant choices. Christmas tree decorating is supposed to span an entire week if you do it right, not two hours. Also, Christmas decorations should still center around snow. If it doesn't snow here, can we at least act like it? I'm tired of seeing pink flamingos in Santa hats on the beach as Christmas decor.

3.) When the weather starts heating back up

Most Floridians:

Me:

It's never going to be like this ever again until that one weird, off day in January.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
