Holiday Events in SWFL
With the holiday season swiftly approaching we can't help but feel the spirit of the season all
around us. For some, Florida has been home forever. For others experiencing the holidays
wearing flip flops and sunglasses can be a completely foreign feeling. So, whether you are a
South Florida resident or visiting for the very first time I have compiled the "end all be all" of christmas
to do lists for southwest Florida. Although we might be missing snow, we're guaranteed an abundance of
sunshine, smiling faces and twinkling palm trees that will keep you coming back year after year.
