My feet are cold right now, and I've got the heat on high.

But you know, many would give a lot to have sunny weather all year 
long.  The Aussie style is something a lot of us envy.

We have some terrible seasons up here.  On the other hand, without a 
variety we would get bored.  It also reminds us that mother nature rules 
and that we're very little.  The tradition of a "white Christmas" is not 
seen by everybody in the U.S.... in fact, it is rare to most.  It's sort of 
a hopeful thing, and when it does happen, well... we feel very good about 
it, and also watching our kids see snow fall for the first time and ask, 
"what is this stuff?".  Building snowmen, going for dangerous snow-rides on 
rubber mats down steep hills, etc., or being dragged by a rope connected to 
a platform that seats about 4, just to name a *few* activities.
