What's Happening This Month
The “holiday boat parade” scene across Southwest Florida is a must-see: dazzling lights, decorated vessels gliding the canals—it’s a uniquely coastal celebration.
Head to downtown Naples for the tree lighting ceremony on Third Street South, catch the annual Christmas parade, enjoy seasonal concerts and Santa visits.

Throughout December the museums and cultural centers host “American Holiday Food Traditions,” “Cowboy Christmas,” and “Pioneer Christmas”—all free, and nuanced for children and adults alike.

Home improvement tip -Luxury Living Ready for Season

With the holiday wave and seasonal visitors arriving, here’s a smart, high-impact tip to keep your property looking elevated:

 


Upgrade your outdoor lighting scheme.

 


-Consider warm white LED uplights for palm trees and architectural features—this adds luxury ambiance and improves evening curb appeal.

-Swap out traditional floodlights for adjustable accent lights with soft shadows; this highlights textures (stucco, landscaping) instead of flattening them.

-Add smart timers or motion-sensors so the lighting behaves effortlessly—no manual switches, no wasted energy.

-Finally: check all fixtures for salt-corrosion (especially in coastal settings), replace worn seals, and clean lenses—so your home shines as brightly as the holiday lights around it.

 


This small investment creates a big “wow” factor—perfect for listing photos, evening showings, or simply making your own residence holiday-ready.
