Christmas in the Florida Keys any other year is the busiest week and month of December. This year you would think that it’s August. We have lost our Canadians, we have lost our Europeans, and we locals don’t have a whole bunch of money to stretch in stores that rely on the kind of money that tourism brings in. It’s nice for a change to walk into a restaurant and actually find a seat or to be able to get out on the road, but our businesses are hurting bad.
