I'm sharing some of the Christmas sightings that I.have seen around Sunny Isles Beach in the Miami area. Sunny Isles is actually North Miami. We are 9 miles from South Beach
Sunny Isles is a beach town with lots of condos with lobbies. I took photos of some of the trees I have seen around town in condo lobbies.
I've seen the reindeer below every year for the past 4 years at the Aventura Mall. He sits regally on one of the benches at the mall. Really cute.
The palm trees are decorated outside on some of the condo properties.
These exquisite flowers below were sent to a neighbor for Christmas. So beautiful..
This whimsical Christmas tree with all of the Flamingos caught my eye in one of the local pharmacies.
The old Sahara Hotel on Collins Ave has been in Sunny Isles Beach since the early 1950's. The camels were part of the theme on the front of the property for the past 70 years and known as the Sunny Isles camels.
For Christmas the camels are wearing Santa hats.(the hotel/motel closed last year and was sold to be torn down to make way for high-rise condos!!) but I believe the camels are being saved and will be displayed somewhere else.
A beautiful Christmas tablescape at my friend's home overlooking the ocean.
This is sunrise Christmas morning on the beach outside of my condo.

Beautiful sunset! Love those festively decorated palm trees. It's freezing over here..how nice that you can still wear a tshirt at this time of the year :-) Happy Holidays, Judee!
ReplyDeleteThe word “overkill” springs to mind! I guess energy conservation is not big in Florida!

ReplyDeleteSome very nice Christmas photos. Still can't get on line very much with my eye but it is healing. Hope you had a nice Christmas and wishing you and your family the best of 2026
ReplyDeleteThe decorated palm trees are lovely. Great photo with your son!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful decorations! I do enjoy seeing a nice Christmas tree. The decorated palm trees made me smile, but the camels look a bit skinny :)
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely pictures. All of these things had to make you feel festive. For me, though, warm weather just doesn’t work around the Christmas season.
ReplyDeleteThese are all so fun, Judee! I especially heart the flamingo tree! I love that you captured all this joy around your home away from home and shared it with us. 😍🎄🦩
