T'was a Florida Christmas
T'was the night before Christmas and all through the town,
no noses were frozen, no snow fluttered down,

no children in flannels were tucked into bed,
they all wore shorty pajamas instead.

In front of the houses, Dads and Moms were
adorning the bushes and coconut palms.
The sleeping kiddies were dreaming in glee,
hoping to find surfing boards under the tree.
They all knew that Santa was well on his way,
