Although the economy is in a less than desirable position, Floridians are still going all out for Christmas.
A drive in nearly any Florida neighborhood will tell you that there is nothing "depressive" about this Christmas. People are decorating with more lights and props than previous years and don't seem to be cutting back on tradition at all.
Christmas tree sales are another example of this. So far, tree sales have survived the holiday spending cuts, despite initial fears of a slow season.
The president of the Florida Christmas Tree Association explained this unexpected Christmas spirit by saying, "I think people just like to have a Christmas tree; it's not the most expensive part of Christmas, really, it's a symbol."
Of course, this is true. It just wouldn't be Christmas without a tree and some lights.
