You would think that the absence of snow and cold would impact the Christmas spirit – but it really doesn’t! I think that people in warmer climates actually try harder since the weather/scenery here doesn’t really jive with the traditional pictures that we associate with Christmas. With that said,  I have been very busy making this place as seasonal as possible. This is our 7th Christmas here – for 2 of them we went on cruises and for 2 of them we were lucky to have the MacIntyre clan (all 6) with us. This year we were thrilled to learn that our gang from Dartmouth is going to be here for the season. So decorating seemed essential and I dug out the bins – they have not been unpacked for 3 years so much of the contents were a surprise to me! Last January Liz and I got great 95% off items at Big Lots so I now have a 7 foot tree too.

I began with decorating the lanai – traditional red/green plus the Santa’s from my original collection in Dartmouth.

The living/dining room area is done in more Florida colours and are all new items so it was really fun deciding what to buy and where to put it.

This place is small so even the bathroom got done – I did stop there and am not planning on decorating the bedroom.
