We are native Floridians (though we live in what I call "old Florida") and I told my best friend recently that the one thing that really, really bugs me about Christmas is Floridians who decorate with snowmen and other snowy decor, when there is so much natural beauty that surrounds us to bring us pleasure and sparkle our homes at Christmas. What a treasure that you have been able to experience it all, yet have chosen to delight in the "tropical tidings" while you are here. Your blog is beautiful - I'm sure I'll be back.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435071269417046903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48770848156382427.post-80931028481955551512008-12-08T17:26:00.000-05:002008-12-08T17:26:00.000-05:00We just bought our beach house...but sadly we wont...We just bought our beach house...but sadly we wont be there for the Christmas holiday...I am living my dream through your blog!The Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698847569200418376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48770848156382427.post-17391627657699307882008-12-07T21:09:00.000-05:002008-12-07T21:09:00.000-05:00I just got a wreath for the beach house today with...I just got a wreath for the beach house today with white starfish and things - it's beautiful.

I spent 3 Christmases in Germany and thought it couldn't get better than that. Then I went to Guam and experienced a Christmas (or Easter) morning sunrise on a tropical beach. <BR/><BR/>Now I'm in the desert and experiencing the bougainvillea, the life and rebirth amidst the rugged backdrop...and I love it all.<BR/><BR/>It's ALL good. It's ALL a blessing. And as I say to people who say it wouldn't feel like Christmas to them in Arizona, I say, in reality, Christ was born in a desert/warm climate, NOT in the snow!Amber Cargilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00254241543896488112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-48770848156382427.post-87097271094694679682008-12-03T13:31:00.000-05:002008-12-03T13:31:00.000-05:00You seem to be faring wonderfully!
