There are many benefits to living in a tropical climate... you only need a summer wardrobe, you don't have to deal with putting coats, boots, and snow pants on everyone in the family to get out the door, and it really is beautiful (or if I'm being honest, stinking hot!) every day. The biggest drawback, though, is that without the change of seasons, Thanksgiving doesn't really feel like Thanksgiving, and Christmas doesn't really feel like Christmas. We do our best to make it feel like the holidays by putting up decorations, but it just doesn't quiet cut it.

One thing I am thankful for, though, is Netflix's Fireplace For Your Home, a 3 episode (with varying soundtracks) show that transforms your TV a fireplace. With a "fire" going (even crackling!) in our living room, it almost feels like it could be winter outside. And the best part is, it doesn't emit any heat! I know it seems silly, but it takes the edge off of our homesickness during this time that it is hard to be away from family and home.
