There may be sand instead of snow! And on a warm Christmas when the temp is in the 8o's you might have to use the air conditioner to get that chill inthe air, then throw another log on the fire! Twinkling lights grace palm trees, and hang over heated pools that are still in use...it's not your typical New England winter snow-covered wonderland, but it is Christmas all the same! Here are some customs & traditions from the warmer parts of the United States of America.
