Christmas in Florahome, Florida

Christmas may not be as white here in Florahome, Florida as it is up north - a winter wonderland in North Florida basically means wondering if we'll be wearing sweaters or just sweating when we celebrate with family and friends. We all know however, it's the family and friends part that really makes Christmas special - like that hole Uncle Bob accidentally shot through the roof back in 03 or the year Grandma almost burned down the house when she got to playing that 'Guitar Hero thing' and forgot about her cooking. Christmas in Florahome, may not as bright as in Orlando or Jacksonville, but the lights on our homes or gates are born of the same Christmas Spirit. If you drive down Coral Farms Road at night this time of year or maybe have seen one of the Living Hope Worship Center's past Christmas performances, you'll know the reason for the season is not forgotten here. Really, Christmas in Florahome, Florida is like Christmas anywhere else,... it's not the place we celebrate that's important - it's the place Christmas has in our heart.
