_______________________

This Thanksgiving Holiday weekend 2010 is a Christmas stocking stuffed with things to do in Florida - a great many of them having to do with lights, straining the old grid in a way that even Clark Griswold himself would envy. It is said that from November to New Years, Florida's incandescent glow can easily be spotted from the space shuttle and here in Florahome, we're but a short drive to a good deal of that brightly lit Holiday cheer. We've got the light parade in Jacksonville as well as the lighting of their tree and to the east in old St. Augustine, history sparkles in one of the most beautiful displays in the state. These are just two of the season's offerings close by with craft and art fairs, music and living history events providing even more things for us to do. This being the time of year for lists, here's one more that'll hopefully brighten your Florida weekend, and do it in more ways than one.



As always, the Florida Files page is available if you
need help finding any unfamiliar place in Florida. This list of Things to do in Florida is usually posted every Wednesday or Thursday.
