Thirteen signs that it's Christmas time in the south......
- People pick out their live trees while wearing shorts
- You see palm tree "Christmas trees" in yards
- The weather turns really cold......in the 50's!
- People get their turtlenecks and scarves out for the "cold" weather
- You watch the Christmas parade without a coat on
- Stores are still having sidewalk sales
- You have your air conditioner on while decorating the Christmas tree
- They use a snow machine to make downtown look festive
- The kids get excited to see frost on the grass (the closest thing to snow down here)
- It is winter but there are no sleds for sale anywhere
- You're still mowing grass in December
- There are pansies blooming right beside your light covered bushes
- I'm still wearing flip flops
Merry Christmas!
Funny....it is so much different in the south isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThere was to be a Christmas parade in the town my mom is at in East Texas tonight and they CANCELLED it because it's too cold....33 degrees expected, so no parade. Now, a Christmas parade should be something you freeze your buns off at and then go home and have some hot cider am I right? THese southereners.....
