Delray Beach-Almost Over, But Still Some Christmas Spirit Left.

Delray Beach- Almost Over, But Still Some Christmas Spirit Left!

Christmas was yesterday, but there is still the holiday spirit spilling over into the weekend.

Atlantic Avenue and the beach are swarming with families and visitors… everyone enjoying our beach and Atlantic Avenue.

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.

Norman Vincent Peale

 

 

Larry and I looked up above the traffic and buildings and saw the full moon!  I read it was the first Christmas full moon since 1977.

He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree.

Roy L. Smith

 

The 100 foot Christmas Tree was magnificent and I could hear all of the little children tugging at their parent’s hands to take them to the tree.

Christmas isn't a season. It's a feeling.

Christmas is a tonic for our souls. It moves us to think of others rather than of ourselves. It directs our thoughts to giving.

                                                                              B. C. Forbes

 

Have a Holiday Filled Weekend!

Beautiful pictures Kathy Streib . I had some sale smove around and freed up some time next week, i was hoping for a last minute flight to FLA but there was nothing under $1200 for red eye and upwards for a morning flight. Everyone else had the same idea.
