Your Punta Gorda Weekend Before Christmas

It was the weekend before Christmas and all through the downtown creatures were stirring and making their rounds.  They were heading to Fishville, to Harry's and the Ray and stopping by Slip Not all on the way.  Then what to their wondering eyes did appear but millions of lights heading down a canal... and Santa and Dasher and all the reindeer as boaters shouted Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
