No more Florida?

At work today I was assisting this sweet elderly lady who has dementia. Attempting to engage her in conversation I mentioned that Christmas was in just a few days. She didn't have much of a reaction to this news. To help orientate her I said "it's Dec.20th today and you would never believe it looking outside, it's such a gorgeous sunny day." And it was. Though somewhat on the colder side, the day was brilliantly lit by the rays of a nearly winter sun.  I continued, "I can't imagine having Christmas when it's so sunny outside" (usually weather is quite miserable around here for the holidays). My patient still gave no indication that she was following the conversation. "Mind you," I said, "it's usually sunny in Florida and they seem to manage Christmas just fine." My patient finally roused herself to speak and quite definitively said, "Florida? Florida is disappearing." .....okkkayy then. I won't argue.
