Climbs through the windows?

It can be sometimes hard to get into the spirit when the temperature was in
the 80's until this weekend.  It's now in the 60's getting into the 40's at
night so it's a little easier.  I lived in Northeast Ohio for my first 17
years and remember well chillbains and frostbite and scraping snow off the
windshield.  My first trip to Florida was over my senior winter break.  It
was -19 F in Cleveland and 50 in Florida, I was in shorts and a t-shirt.
Now 50 is pretty chilly for me.

Christmas here has some strange incongruities.  In the early intervention I
work at, kids are singing of Jingle Bells and Rudolph and Letting it Snow.
However, palm trees are very pretty when they are lit up.
