Sleepless in .... Boston?

Will someone please explain to me why it is sixty degrees and raining in Boston?! How is one to get a Christmas tree in this type of crazy weather? How is one to dance with abandon to the sweet, sweet sounds of Lionel Richie's "Little Drummer Boy"? (Answer: same as always. Take it slow, round out those hips, keep it real cool, sister.) How is one to bake cookies and play Scrabble whilst sipping hot mulled cider?

Ah, New England. Ye never cease to amaze and befuddle. In any case, a very merry Friday to all!
