Reasons to Spend Your Christmas in Key West
With the end of the year comes the beginning of the holidays. And with the holidays comes family and friends, parties, food, gift giving, and much more. Although these are things to look forward to, a lot of work goes on behind the scenes to pull them off without a hitch. If you want to truly take some time off and not worry about all the details that go into a flawless Christmas, taking holiday vacations with your loved ones every winter is the right choice for you.
Visit the Key West Film Festival
Who doesn’t love going to the movies? The chance to get comfortable in the cushy theater seats, munch on a giant bucket of buttery popcorn and settle in front of the giant screen for a few hours and escape from reality is always alluring. Individual movies are tempting enough, but film festivals take all of that and ramp it up a few notches. Luckily enough, every November, Key West has its own festival to take advantage of.
