The Mountain Christmas I Cherish in Blue Ridge, GA
There’s something about the Blue Ridge Mountains in December that grounds me. Maybe it’s the crisp air, the smell of firewood drifting from cabin chimneys, or the way the town glows with lights that feel nostalgic and new at the same time.
My Favorite Blue Ridge Christmas Traditions

Starting my mornings with coffee overlooking the mountains — Those quiet moments remind me why so many clients fall in love with this place instantly.

Checking on my mountain listings before the holidays — There’s something magical about stepping into a cabin staged for Christmas. It feels like the season belongs there.
Christmas in Blue Ridge feels like stepping into a postcard—calm, intimate, and connected.
A Tropical Twist to Christmas in Fort Lauderdale, FL
Then comes Fort Lauderdale—where December swaps snowflakes for waves and where Christmas lights reflect off the water instead of rooftops. It’s a completely different atmosphere, but one that inspires a different kind of joy.
What Makes Christmas in Fort Lauderdale Special for Me
-
Sunrise walks by the beach — There’s something surreal about feeling the ocean breeze during a season usually tied to cold weather.
-
The Winterfest Boat Parade — One of my absolute favorite traditions; the creativity of those decorated yachts never fails to amaze me.
-
Sharing tropical-themed holiday treats with clients and friends — Think coquito, citrus pastries, and holiday cocktails by the water.
-
Visiting listings with waterfront views — The reflections of holiday lights dancing across canals is a sight I never get tired of.
Christmas in Fort Lauderdale is vibrant, lively, and full of energy—like the season wearing a bright, sunny smile.
Why I Love Celebrating Christmas in Two Worlds
Having homes—and clients—in two vastly different markets has shaped my Christmas traditions. Each place gives me something unique:
-
Blue Ridge gives me peace and nostalgia.
-
Fort Lauderdale gives me energy and celebration.
And together, they give me a sense of balance I’m grateful for every year.
Real estate is more than buying and selling homes. It’s being part of people’s stories—especially during the holidays, when families gather, memories are made, and new chapters begin. Whether I’m helping someone find a cabin retreat in the mountains or a waterfront escape in South Florida, I’m reminded that home is the heart of every Christmas.
My Christmas Wish This Year
To continue building connections, creating opportunities, and helping families find the homes where their own holiday memories will be made.
And to slow down enough to enjoy the little things—the laughter, the lights, the warmth, the gratitude.
Wherever you’re celebrating this year—whether under twinkling mountain skies or the glow of the Florida coast—I hope your Christmas is filled with joy, peace, and a sense of home.
