Sleigh Bells Ring, Houses Bling: Gallery of Well-Decorated South Florida Homes

There are many ways to describe South Florida; subtle is not among them.

A few days after the well-decorated (and well-lit) parade of boats known as Winterfest passed through Fort Lauderdale's stretch of the Intracoastal Waterway, our news director, Dan Grech, took a boat tour along part of the parade route.

"I do find it odd," said Dan, a Pennsylvania native, "boating through the canals of Broward County, in December, looking at reindeer and snow-frosted Christmas tree decorations."

Dan sent us photos of a few of his favorite decorations (see gallery above). If you or your neighbor has a particularly well-decorated home, send us a photo. You can tweet it at us @WLRN or post it to our WLRN Facebook page.
