Get ready to celebrate the New Year Sarasota style.  The outdoor festivities will take place along Main Street.  For more info: www.srqnewyears.com.

December 27th, make plans to attend the PAL Sailor Circus Holiday Show.  For more info: www.sailorcircus.org.  We’ll see you there!

Don’t forget to ride down Midnight pass for a spectacular light display.  Then head out to Grace Baptist Church on Bee Ridge Road (east of I75) for another incredible display.

Hope you made your dinner reservations for Christmas.  We’re eating at Columbia Restaurant on St Armand’s Circle.  A Cuban Christmas…yum. 

Have you seen this month’s issue of Coastal Living Magazine?  Toward the back is a story on St Armand’s Circle during the Christmas season.  Great article, but you really need to see the tree lit up in person.

It’s cloudy right now…hopefully our day will brighten up with sunshine soon.  Our relatives on my husband’s side have invaded Siesta Key from the north and they need to warm up, and I don’t mean with a cup of hot cocoa.

Yeah, just as I wrote the sun came out.  See ya.
