@Aidolovemostofyourthoughts: trust me you will start hating the sun when you live in a country where it gets constant sun. I live right close to the equator in an island where there is always sun, it's always warm, but I hate it.

perhaps the long, cold winter helps people reflect on how nice things are in the summer. and gives them a good amount of time for things like reading, appreciating arts and the like.

I'm surprised Sweden isn't further up the list, near Norway and Denmark. Why aren't the Swedes happy?

Wow!! I was expecting Sweden and Canada to be higher and Iceland much lower on the list. Also I wasn't expecting to see Australia there. But I somehow thought that these crazy Norwegians would be in one of the first places. xD

I'd say probably because Northerners are accustomed to it. Also, while still dark as fuck, polar nights are beautiful, especially considering they're often paired up with northern lights and the like. :P
