It’s time to pack up your 15 passenger van rental in Rhode Island and hit the road to Florida.
Remember the thrill of the holiday season as a child? The crisp air, scratchy wool gloves, a faint smell of chimney smoke. As night fell, twinkling lights lining the neighborhood houses glistened, transferring you to a magical, wintry North Pole. The Christmas season was so delightful then, full of promise and joy.
Now, that air feels downright cold. Pulling on gloves is just another morning task before a long, grueling day trudging through day-old snow. Odorless fires turn on with the click of a button. And who wants to spend an agonizing afternoon on the roof hooking up Christmas lights?
It’s time to go to Florida.
