My niece Heidi and her husband own a VRBO in Homosassa Springs, Florida.Β I took you on a tour of the house and nearby attractions in April 2021.

In early December, I revisited the house. During the holiday season Heidi decorated a tree with tropical treasures. The tree added a pop of color and subtle light to the living room corner.

 

 

 

The ornaments are all tropical. . . or nautical.

Flamingo floaty with sea star

 

 

Sunglasses a must, even in winter

 

 

The Amusing Puffer fish

 

 

Even fish may need a life raft!

 

 

Peacocks popular on area farms or in back yards

 

 

A sea horse who likes lemons. . . imagine!

 

 

The precious sea turtle, amphibious

 

 

 

Iridescent oyster alongside pineapple

 

 

Manta Ray, a snorkeler’s dream

 

 

At Crump’s Restaurant nearby, Santa was in full sway

 

 

If you visit Homosassa, you will have a whale of a time!

 

The ornamental tree amuses guests at Heidi and Eric’s VRBO. It is simply an embellishment to the Christian holiday they celebrate, according to Luke 2 in New Testament Scripture as prophesied in the Old Testament:

Isaiah 7:14Β  Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel, [God is with us]

How do you celebrate the season?

Happy Kwanzaa!

Happy New Year!
