Imagine being able to wake up on Christmas morning and seeing the sunshining, hearing the birds chirping, and not a cloud in the sky. To those of us from the North this only happens in storybooks and in people's imaginations. However those from the South have the opportunity to live this every year. Southerners imagining what it would be like to have a white Christmas is something that is replayed over and over again in Christmas morning cartoons.
