Hot Chocolate/ Pina Colada
Douglas Fir/Coconut Palm
Long Johns /Thong Bikinis
Potted Poinsettia (Wilting)/ Planted Poinsettia (Healthy)

Chestnuts on an open fire/ Shrimps on the barbie
Ice Skating /In Line Skating
Holly Wreath /Seashell Wreath

Snowman/ Sand Castle
Partridge in a pear tree /Parrot in an orange tree
Marching Christmas Bands/ Christmas Boat Parades
Sand castles and orange trees sound really wonderful right now. It is 19 degrees here this morning.
ReplyDeleteBrrrChill! Thanks for a little reminder that there is really still some warmth in the world.
'On Ya'-ma
Send some warmth to the northeast.
ReplyDeleteAnd, my Florida friends think I'm crazy when I tell them I miss New England and would move back in a heartbeat!

Ahh, the beauty of the fresh fallen snow on a crisp winter morn.
ReplyDeleteReality check, you have to shovel it, plow it, walk in it and even worse drive in it. It only stays crisp for a little while. I guess I am not the hardy New Englander I should be. Give me the Sun and you can have my shovel....
I"ve wanted one of those decorated palm trees and a flamingo in a santa hat every Christmas I've lived in Florida.... And I still don't have them. G threatens to move out for the month of December if I even look at them in the store LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to live in a warm climate, but Christmas would never be the same without cold weather and snow. LOL
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Want us to send you some snow? ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Hugs, Beth

ReplyDeletecrazy about the bouncing snowman. I ran over to Home Depot to pick up some pointsettias for the front of my house to make it a little cheerful. I may even breakdown and put some lights on my palm trees. Janice
I choose tropical ( as if I had a choice). Merry Christmas.
