I adore December in Southern Arizona, it reminds me why I love living here. This will be our fifth Christmas in Arizona. It's amazing how quickly the years pass. I love the fact that we have sunshine and great weather nearly year round. Though December is cold by our standards, there is no snow (huge plus for me) and there's still an abundance of sunshine.I really can't imagine living anywhere else or spending the coldest months of the year outside of Arizona. It might not be what people call a traditional winter or a holiday landscape, but my Arizona views make me happy. And they make me really happy when the rest of the country is covered in snow.
