    Christmas in Key West, FL

    By JoyfulGypsy  |  Posted November 3, 2009  |  Key West, Florida
     

    Key West is great place to visit any time of year, but it's a sure welcome escape in the cold winter weather of Northern New Jersey.

     

    Christmas, 2005.

     

     

    Sunset in Old Town is a time honored happening where hundreds of people gather on the docks of historic Mallory Square. There, you will see flame tossing jugglers, a sword swallower, tightrope walkers, an exotic trained bird show and “Golden Elvis” and his sidekick, “Silver Man” – all the while being serenaded by assorted minstrels and the “Southernmost Bagpiper." 
    Immediately next door, over a small footbridge, the acts continue where some of the most intriguing and locally famous acts perform, such as Dominique and His Flying House Cats. 
    If you’re hungry, food vendors set up booths offering conch fritters, key limeade and other strictly homemade goodies. You’ll laugh out loud as the legendary “Cookie Lady” promotes her warm delicacies while squawking slogans in perfect rhyme.
