Well, the temps are in the 60's and 70's & it's December! (auf dem Metrisch-System, im Moment ist es 18 grad!) Someone gave us Ponderosa lemons from their yard (that's what Dad is holding!) --huge! -- & we have grapefruit in ours.
Our house is lit up, & our kind neighbors helped my dad a couple of weeks ago. I helped to wrap the tree outside (& decorated the inside artificial tree last weekend). Nope, couldn't convince the folks to let me pick out a REAL tree! 
Speaking of which, I passed several Christmas tree farms in north Florida (in the "Panhandle"-- named that because of the shape of our state), while traveling to a church in Gretna to speak.
What-- African tribal folks? No-- They were re- enacting the wise men, along with their entourage (Deutsch: Gefolge), coming to worship the boy Jesus. We attended a great Christmas production at a local church where many friends attend, Idlewild Baptist.
The lobby (left) is from a church in Lakeland, FL about 45 minutes from Tampa (where 2 of our Connexxion interns come). Talk about a lovely place to drink coffee between worship services! Just a glance at Florida, Christmas & church life around here...
