Christmas in Florida

It just doesnt seem possible that it is almost time for Christmas. The stockings are all hung and the tree is dancing with shiny baubles of red and gold and the house is decorated to the gills inside and out.Scores of Nutcrackers keeping still in the house while Santa Claus sits out on the lawn riding the carousel with reindeer and snowmen greeting friends as they pass by in thier cars gazing at all the Christmas tree lights everyone proudly displays.The presents are bought and wrapped and sitting under the tree just beckoning to be opened. Menus being planned and cookies being baked and candies being made while christmas lists get last minute additions. Cards coming in and cards going out just like the twinkling light reflections in cheerful childrens eyes. Yet it doesnt seem like Christmas when your wearing shorts and going to the beach or opening the windows while exclaiming its such a beautiful day. Yes its Christmas in Florida because this is where my family is living and I couldnt imagine a Christmas without them.So Ill pretend that its cold and the snow flurries are coming leading to blankets of fluffy cold snow. Children sled riding and out making snowmen and noses are red from the cold and not sunburned. After all Christmas is where you make your home with your loved ones and stays within your heart if you beleive.
