I'm dreaming of a bright Christmas?

I suppose a white Christmas would be very festive, but not for me.

And my good friend Heather, married a guy she met in Sydney, so her Christmases are like this!

This Christmas, we're going to Florida (me, DH, DS and two DD (dear dogs)) in rented minivan, hitting the road tomorrow. 1900 miles. Hope I don't forget to pack the valium.
