It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

While there is not much chance of a white Christmas in the Tampa Bay area, the Christmas spirit is alive and well (and warmer than in the cold weather climes). Instead of a sleigh, Santa simply uses a boat and occasionally a motorcycle (look around town, you’ll see him). Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer guided one of the boats for the annual Riverview Boat Parade on Saturday; Santa made an early visit to Hydro Harvest Farms this past weekend (he’ll be back again this weekend) and Sun City Center is embracing Christmas with a tropical flavor at both shopping centers and the Community Association complex.
