MERRY CHRISTMAS

Merry Christmas from Folly Beach. We've got our sand tires on because of the unseasonably warm weather leading up to Christmas Day. No snow. Not even sweater weather. We even confess to running the AC at times during the day.

We've come to Folly Beach because it's one of the last areas in Lowcountry, South Carolina where individuality still reigns. The Christmas lights on the Palmetto trunks and the lighted Manger scene may seem incongruous to this beach setting, but we were drawn to this celebrant's yard for that very reason. It reminds us that not everyone lives in those classic snow covered Christmas card scenes.

Not everyone keeps Christmas in the same way, but we are grateful that we are free each to keep the spirit of Christmas in our own way. However you choose to keep this day, may it be a safe and joyful one.
