Do those of you who live in areas where it snows think it’s odd or funny to see “fake” snow Christmas decorations?

I’m from Califonia. It doesn’t snow where I live. Everybody puts up lots of indoor and outdoor decorations that might involve various incarnations of fake snow, or snowmen, and the like.

I love it all from the lovely to the slightly tacky. It’s not uncommon to see a blowup snowman next to a vintage plastic lighted nativity scene, with blinking snowflakes hanging from the palm trees.

This isn’t a question about whether you like Christmas decorations, I realize that some people don’t. This question is for you folks, who appreciate Christmas decorations, but live in areas where it actually snows.

Does the fake snow, and the like, seem funny or odd to you? Or is it just so common place that it never occurred to you?

Back on the old days, it at least used to get cold here in winter, and rain at regular intervals, now it’s mostly warm or hot, and rain is as rare as a two dollar bill. I love the fake snow decorations, because at least it gives a festive “wintery” look, and the illusion of coolness that seems like Christmas, even if it’s 90 degrees.

Feel free to weigh in, too, if you live in a warm place like Las Vegas or Hawaii, and how you feel about fake snow Christmas decorations.
