It's Beginning To Look Alot Like Christmas

Do you remember the iconic song, It's Beginning To Look A lot like Christmas, written by Meredith Wilson in 1951 and recorded and popularized by many artists including Perry Como, Bing Crosby, Johnny Mathis, and most recently in 2011 by Michael Buble. 

In South Florida, where I spend my winters, the Christmas decorations are in full bloom right now throughout the multitude of high rise lobbies, on the streets, and the many balconies.

 I live in a city area with rows of huge fifty story highrises which all have beautifully elegantly decorated lobbies for the holidays. 

This is my 24 story building which is directly across the street from the beach. 

The lobby decorations in my 600 unit building are up and quite lovely. 

Exquisite flowers in a friend's lobby.

 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here. It's a beautiful festive time. We pray for peace and love in the world.

I am on a cruise in the Caribbean this week, so I will not be visiting your sites and leaving comments until I return on Saturday!

I can't end without a recipe. I'm sharing one that I published for this season. It uses wilted kale, roasted acorn squash, and salad vegetables. It looks pretty, is good for you, and tastes delicious. Makes a beautiful presentation. Dazzling Winter Salad (link to recipe)
