When people visit here for
the holidays, the residents of North Platte hear same comments every year.
First, visitors remark on the beautiful deer walking everywhere and then they
comment on the wonderful snowy weather. Little do they know, however, just how
aggravating the winter holiday can really be in a town like this. Here are some
pros and cons to every Christmas season in North Platte:
Pros:
v
There
is lovely Christmas music playing in every public building and residence.
v
Wal-Mart
provides one with the perfect back-up plan.
v
There
is a wide variety of places selling hot chocolate.
v
When
it snows, everything looks like a winter wonderland.
v
The
deer love to come out around the holidays.
v
One
can usually hope for a white Christmas morning.
Cons:
v
People
quickly get depressed hearing ‘The Christmas Shoes’ repeatedly playing across
town.
v
It
seems like everybody remembers Christmas when its two days in advance.
v
The
only place selling a decent cup of hot chocolate is McDonald’s.
v
Underneath
every layer of snow comes a deadly sheet of ice.
v
One
always has to be extra cautious of deer bolting into traffic and getting hit.
v
Snow
on Christmas day can never be predicted here. Never.
