Santa Got Stranded in Florida - POTD

Santa and reindeer's were very tired, they had one more area left to do. This last place was very big, it's name was Florida. They must come in over land, hitting the water they will make a huge splash. Rudolph must see the tall lighthouse, a bright light lighting their way. It was a hard landing on the sand, the sled broke. Sunny Florida with warm temperatures, a great place for Santa to be stranded.

If my sled broke down sunny warm Florida would be a fun place to relax before going back to the North Pole, or in my case South Bend Indiana. Congrats both on POTD (from when you originally posted) and winning placement in my contest.

' It was a hard landing, the sled broke. ' Of course it did, because it doesn't move very well on land- especially in sand. Such a fun write, Paula. Even Santa needs a place to chill for a while. Congratulations my dear sweet friend, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy
