Christmas in Florida

Greetings Hairballers,

It's that time of year again--time to pull out this old retread for your enjoyment, or not.

Christmas in Florida©

         FMHorner

The traditional poinsettias are tropical plants, but we’ve got miles of plastic ones covered with ants

Polyester pine garland has replaced Spanish moss and shines in the sun like gooey hair gloss

The inflatable snowmen that grin ear to ear, will melt in the heat as the C-day draws near

Christmas in Florida’s a very big deal, with a climate like Bethlehem, it could look very real

Why not park a camel out in the yard and skip all those cookies just filled up with lard?

Palms stood by the manger on that far away night, so why the fake trees that look such a fright?

Santas are stationed at every mall and town; he’s come on a skateboard, there’s not snow to be found

The true meaning of Christmas is lost in the mess; the electric bill’s soaring but how could they do less

It’s only one day, there’s 364 more, yet it’s there in July when you enter a store

I say peace be to earth and good will to all men as I turn up the a/c, it’s too hot again

Happy hairballs,
