I guess all the decorations and lights came about _because_ the weather is so crappy. Lock the doors, turn on the lights, grab a blanket and a hot drink and hunker down. Humans need to hibernate too! :)
Glad you love Christmas! I'm actually quite indifferent to it, but your post has really raised my mood, so thank-you for that! Maybe I will learn to love it one day...
I'm not sure who you need to get in touch with about the weather... there must be a contact form somewhere...
