Traveling to Florida for Christmas
I tend to do a lot of traveling every Christmas being that my children are out of school, and my family is in many different parts of the U.
S.
I live in the northern U.
S.
and I'm used to experiencing brutal winters where the thermometer doesn't even reach freezing levels.
One of the best things I've ever done was marry a woman whose family lives in Miami, Florida where it's warm all year around.
Traveling to Miami during Christmas is a lot of fun although it's unusual at the same time.
In December the temperature in southern Florida is still between 70 and 80 degrees every day and you can where shorts and short sleeve shirts pretty much every day.
You may need a light sweater if you plan on driving further north in Florida but it's still nothing too drastic.
During my time down there I get to do things that I'm never able to do when I'm back home.
Instead of bundling up and drinking hot cocoa by the fireplace I'm instead choosing which pair of swim trunks I want to bring to the beach with me.
Miami has a great night life as well.
When you go to places like South Beach they have clubs that rival NY and you'll experience lots of trendy bars and trendier people from all parts of the globe.
Other things I can do while on holiday in Miami is fire up the grill and enjoy some burgers and chicken while outside on the patio.
Trying to do that where I live will only lead to me having frostbite.
Miami is a great place to be during Christmas but I said it's weird as well.
In my mind I'm expecting it to snow around Christmas and possibly looking forward to a white Christmas.
People still decorate there homes and are full of the spirit but there are far fewer evergreen trees outside and the whole thing just feels very different for me.
Despite the weirdness however I still feel as though traveling to Miami during Christmas is a great place to spend the holiday.
While you're there you can catch a basketball or football game or just lounge on the patio outside.
If you're looking to escape the cold and have a unique holiday experience then you should consider going down to Florida and seeing what the holiday in the sunshine state is all about.
