We are in the hills, so it’s typically colder and more windy here than the rest of the state because of the elevation. Where we live it’s very rural and a totally different place than Boston and the rest of the eastern part of the state, more like rural Vermont. It’s a beautiful area, but this time of the year I’ll take the Villages seven days a week and twice on Sundays. I concur with your advise, need to go south ASAP. Christmas can’t be over fast enough for my liking, the countdown is on!

I am somewhat familiar with your area. I have driven the Mass Pike on many occasions, traveling to Maine, or Boston, or The Cape. That part of Mass is a lot like my part of NY. Nothing like the urban centers to the east, NYC or Boston. And firkin' COLD and DARK in winter.
I once traveled the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston, on the 1st of December. It was covered in snow. I sang the song the whole day, and now every year on Dec.1 I remember that day, and get that ear worm going.
Happy Holidays to you, and safe travels down.
