A Floridian Christmas

There are things about Christmas in Florida that don't really seem to fit. The myriad of confectionery and decorations depicting snowmen along with children joyously flinging snowballs through the cold air seems misplaced. The idea that Santa Claus makes an appearance in his traditional red furs rather that something a little lighter might suggest he has terrible circulation problems.

A Floridian Christmas is not my favorite type. A white Christmas would be preferable. It looks like it's going to be an air-conditioned Christmas this year with temperatures still near 80°.

Wherever you are, have a very merry Christmas and get ready for the 2012 psychos to come out of the wall!

The Florida decorations and the climate are certainly incongruous in many cases. I must admit, in all honesty, that my wife and I also go out to drive around and look at neighbourhoods that have over-the-top decorations with the the specific intention of us laughing at the absurdity of them.

I hope you had a great Xmas and best wishes for the New Year, Rob, for you and your kin! :-)
