We may never have a white Christmas, unless the snow is fake, and chestnut roasting on an open fire are unlikely. But despite our tropical winter weather, or maybe because of it, South Florida goes all out for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and the winter holiday season.

Palm trees look great in holiday lights, as do zoos, entertainment complexes and, of course, homes in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. We have boat parades as well as land parades, holiday concerts inside and outside, festivals, family fun, visits from Santa and even snow, though we know it is fake.
