All I want for Christmas

All I want for Christmas is more snow? Not. As I get older, I dread the coming of winter almost as much as I dread the first month after the last World Cup game (I know I have four years before the next World Cup rolls around!). I hear people say that the snow is beautiful, that is great for skiers, and that the mountains are gorgeous when covered with the white stuff. To all of them I say; keep it in the high elevations, let the skiers ski, and the individuals who are into white moutaintops can gaze all they wish. A no-snow winter would not bother me at all, especially if it meant I could be on the soccer pitch the entire time! My vote: NO MORE SNOW!
