A White Christmas Florida Style

Siesta Key

As the Northeast braces for a major winter storm reaching from D.C. north, I do not miss the snow AT ALL. Having grown up in Chicago, the closest I ever want to get to a White Christmas again is the white sands of our beautiful beaches.

The white sands of Florida's Gulf Coast are mostly made up of microscopic quartz crystals that have been washed down into rivers, out into the Gulf of Mexico, and then up onto the shores of the Sunshine State.

Stay safe if you are in the storm's path.
