How about 650 not sure synonyms. That's a lot of expressions for being vague. In the same thesaurus - The Power Thesaurus, there are 5,475 synonyms for sure.

Here we are at the first day of February and the things to do in this month divide drastically between embracing our landscape of snow and escaping the same landscape; Party in Quebec City for the Winter Festival or Go South to the beach.
The beach option includes the family favourite: go to a Disney Theme Park. I am intrigued with the Pandora Park based on the Avatar movie. It is in the Animal Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando.
This is interesting because Disney prides itself on its landscapes and plant material. We went a few years ago just to see the landscaping, and I was impressed. The promotional pictures look like they've succeed again.
"What we’re trying to do on Pandora is transport our guests to another planet,” says Zsolt Hormay, Vice President of Creative at Walt Disney Imagineering. “We had to find species that looked like Pandoran plants,” he says. The creative team traveled to Hawaii’s Oahu island to research rainforest plants as well as China’s Zhangjiajie National Forest Park to research the mountains that inspired Avatar’s floating Hallelujah Mountains."
So let's go back to sure vs not sure. What percentage of Canadians take a winter vs a beach vacation in the winter months? Expedia says that over 50% of Canadians take a beach vacation in the winter. Seems like the two pictures below tell the story: An invitation to stroll through paradise vs a snow-filled yard viewed from inside.
I guess that's where the chocolate comes in this month. Even if you take a beach vacation, there's the return to the winter landscape, where chocolate is on tap.
