Things to do in Florida December 9, 10, 11, 2011

Kicking off this list of Things to do in Florida December 9, 10, 11, 2011 is the Macy's Holiday Parade at Universal Studios Orlando. If we can't go to the parade in New York, we'll just bring it down here to Florida - balloons and all! And for those unable to make a trip even to Orlando, there are still more holiday parades on land and on the water all over the state to enjoy. The link to the list of boat parades has been included again this week so don't zoom by it. Also with the economy still sputtering along, several events going on at our Florida State Parks are listed this week happily providing many affordable holiday things to do in Florida December 9, 10 and 11, 2011. Thanks guys. And for all celebrating Christmas this year, one event that may portray the true Spirit of the season like no other is the "Living Nativity". Hopefully among this year's listings you'll find one near you. Just remember while you're out there looking for things to do in Florida December 9, 10, 11, 2011, please drive safely,  go easy on the eggnog and DON'T RUN OVER GRANDMA! Y'all have a good one.
