We know you all must have been pretty good this year, because Florida has been blessed with so many gifts this season. Here are a few of our favorite highlights. Merry Christmas, everyone!
- A White Christmas
Flickr/Visit St. Pete/Clearwater We don’t need snow. We’d much rather have sand between our toes.
- Relaxation

- Lots of shrimp
Carl McCaskey At least for everyone in Apalachicola, where Santa ditches the sleigh and arrives by shrimp boat.
- Nights of Lights

- Walking in a water wonderland
Terri Anderson The Jacksonville Landing looking lovely.
John Blanco Punta Gorda is definitely in the holiday spirit.
Flickr/Roger W Siesta Key is so pretty with all the lights reflected on the water.
- Our own take on Christmas trees
John Blanco Like these festive palms in Punta Gorda.
Beverly Reaume And this beautifully decorated tree in Jensen Beach.
- And don’t forget our beloved Sandi
Danny DeRose The ultimate sand Christmas Tree can be found at the West Palm Beach Waterfront.
- Okay, so maybe it’s also a Green Christmas
Flickr/H. Michael Miley Hey, when it’s 75 degrees outside, you can’t complain.
- But we had plenty of lights
Diane Moore Greenwell They look just as pretty here as they do in the cold. Pictured is Hernando Beach.
- With gorgeous gardens
Flickr/Rob Bixby Like the ZOOLights at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens. In case you missed it, it runs through January 2nd.
Flickr/Luke Lienau And these trees at the Florida Botanical Gardens in Largo, which runs through December 31st.
- And glowing flamingos
Flickr/Marc Banks As seen in Dunedin.
Flickr/Rob Bixby And also here at the ZOOLights in Jacksonville.
- Best of all, we have all of this beauty to look forward to for another year!
