Taken from garden hide, fortuitous shot, I was waiting for a very uncooperative brambling, still anything in the snow is unusual for me.

You can have some of our snow! I like the grasses poking through. The hint of walking motion is nice. I just wish the subject was not angling away, but I guess it was looking for uncovered spots to keep the feet warm!
I don't know what I would prefer, snow at this time of the year or 40 degree (Celsius for you lot over there, not Fahrenheit) Christmases. I miss snow personally, though I do remember, it can be cold and miserable during winter.
I like the setting, and as mentioned, slightly more angled towards you would make all the difference.
Hope you got your Brambling.
