The Florida Christmas Trees

This competition included a Florida themed Christmas tree. This allowed decorators to use their imagination and join Florida themes and Christmas in a very unique way. Ocean Conservationist Lisa Miceli, who won the Florida Tree competition, went all out on her Stoked on Salt Christmas tree. Her tree included sea themed decorations like a dive mask, sea horses, sailboat, mermaid and other ornaments that brought the tree to life in a truly Floridian way.
