Our theme for DECEMBER is HOLIDAYS AT HOME. Since many of us cannot travel to be with loved ones this year, we wanted to hold our favorite memories near. Send us your favorite holiday moments from years past or how you’re celebrating this one to make this season merry and bright.

Every year we wait for Santa to arrive on Christmas Eve by fire truck in Marathon in our Santa hats & reindeer antlers. In this photo is my daughter, Ariana Patterson, my husband, TJ Patterson, and my dad, Henk Roeloffzen. God willing we will be doing this again this year.

The end of hurricane season (and the stress it brings), is celebrated annually on Nov. 30 in Key West with a Hurricane Flag Burning Ceremony. The official Hurricane Flags are soaked in high octane rum and set aflame. BILL KLIPP/Contributed
It’s not officially Christmas at the Mitchells’ until the life-sized nutcrackers appear. They were a gift from our son’s Uncle Robert 10 years ago and have become our signature decoration every year since. STEPHANIE MITCHELL/Contributed
