This is a great Christmas short story.

Josie leaves her boyfriend who seems to like his job more than he does her. She moves from Virginia to Florida where she has a job transfer. She sure isn't ready for the heat when she gets there. Especially in December. But between her new landlady, Esterline, and Jake, a dive shop owner she sees that Christmas isn't about having snow on the ground.

Always living in a place with snow in the winter, it has come to mean snow for Christmas to me. I liked seeing what Christmas was like in warmer places. There is a wonderful message in this story reminding us that being with people who care about you is more important than being where you think you are suppose to be or doing the job you think you should do (whether you like it or not).

You should read this quick Christmas story that says so much in so few pages. ( )
