My boyfriend got it in his head that he wanted to experience a white christmas.
He was all over me to go bring him back to my home state of Illinois so that we could enjoy snow, ice, and cold together.
I think he imagined the snow being like from the movie The Holiday. The snow is there, but it doesn’t seem to affect anybody. I mean Cameron Diaz walks through it in high heels and no socks. How bad could snow be? Well I am from Elgin, Illinois and the snow is cold. The nights get down into the teens, sometimes even single digits. During the day it is below freezing. Nobody in Elgin is casually walking around in the snow without proper gear. However, my boyfriend wanted it and I know my parents love it when I come to visit them. So I helped my boyfriend pick out proper gear for the winter and we boarded a plane for Elgin, Illinois. Immediately my boyfriend realized his mistake. The snow and wind chill were a lot for him. He basically spent most of the day holed up in front of my parent’s gas fireplace. He was freezing cold and hated being outside. The first day he dropped down in the snow to make a snow angel and realized that it was wet, icky, and gross. He never wanted to do that again. He hated sledding, snowmen, and snowball fights. The white Christmas he imagined was not what he expected. At least he got to see Elgin, Illinois.
