The weather for Christmas in Central Florida SUCKS!
Year after year, since moving to Orlando, I find that it is very difficult to get into the Christmas spirit when it is constantly 80 degrees outside. It’s not fun sweating to death putting up Christmas lights, even though you’re in shorts and a t-shirt.
Last year was the first time in many a Christmas that I was in the spirit only because I had took a few days off from work at the beginning of December to visit my friend in Brooklyn. The weather then was perfect for Christmas. It was in the 50′s during the day and freezing at night. It was wonderful to get bundled up in a coat and (for the first time ever for myself) a scarf to go into the city to see the tree at Rockefeller Center and the decorated windows on 5th Avenue. That is the way fall and winter and, more importantly, Christmas is supposed to be.
Why am I still in Florida?

About ed
I was born and raised in Tallahassee until 1993. There I was raised to love God, Family and the Seminoles, in that order. After meeting a gorgeous girl in 1992 from Jacksonville, where my family had moved to in previous years, I decided to move to Jacksonville where I lived for four years until that gorgeous girl and I decided to move to Orlando. I’ve been living in Orlando with that gorgeous girl since 1997 and still love her and the city. My only major complaint about Orlando is the weather (it’s hot, people, too hot). I have no complaints about her – I love you, baby .
I work in the Technology field as a Systems Administrator working with Windows servers and Cisco networking. Because I love my career so much I enjoy technology outside of the work place also. When I’m not exploring new tech gadgets, working on my computers, or tweaking my local home network, I generally enjoy video games, movies, reading and spending time with my family. And when I am not doing all of that, I also work as a consultant for my technology consulting company, EC Technology Consulting, LLC.
To sum it up, I’m a tech geek.
Same here in Tallahassee. I was running the A/C today, and wearing shorts yesterday. We had a few chilly days last week. That was nice.
If it will cheer you up, I could mail you some ice cubes?
