Leave the snow and ice behind. To say the holiday season is huge in south Florida is an understatement.
Towns and cities from Boca Raton to Delray Beach to West Palm Beach have already introduced their famous Christmas trees to get a jump on the holidays in their busy downtowns. And private communities light up their entrances with spectacular holiday lights to dress up the season. Most locales offer day camps to keep the kids busy when they’re seasonally out of school.
