Tis The Season To be Jolly in Palm Beach

Just like the winter cleaning, as my Mother use to call it. From Thanksgiving on, the house had to be ready and spotless for the upcoming festivities. When I moved to here to Florida, that tradition continued. As I started to take up old dirty carpet to have it replaced before the holidays, I received a wonderful gift. Terrazzo flooring under years of vinyl tile and carpeting. When I first saw it, I had no idea what it was, or what to do with it. I knew it had to be something, it wasn\’t just plain concrete it had color in it. So I call a friend who owned a flooring company to see what this floor was. It didn’t take but a few seconds for him to tell me what a wonderful, historic and artful floor I had uncovered called Terrazzo. And even luckier, was that it was not in really bad condition. His company has been in business restoring this wonderful type of floor for 26 years. He was able to have the house done before that Holiday. My floors were the talk of my parties!

He was enthusiastic about his business and the natural stone floors his company cleans, polishes and restores. For much less than what it would have cost to replace the old carpet (and take up the vinyl tile under the carpet) I had this ugly floor restored to what I only can describe as multi-colored, shining art on my entire home’s floor! So winter holiday time is the time that I clean up, shine up and decorate my home. Colonial Floor Care keeps my newly reclaimed Terrazzo treasure clean for another Holiday Season.

One thing I enjoy seeing this time of year, is everyone seems to come together, become a bit more joyful, wanting to connect with family and friends. Enjoying the Holiday decorations that are displayed around town. Driving around with the family to look at the many homes with their own light show that people enjoy putting up. I have to admit, I am one of those people. Tis the Season to be Jolly!

Growing up in Western New York I remember the fun as a child (and with my own children when they were small) playing in the snow. Getting our own tree from our woods behind the farm, decorating the house. Yes these traditions I continue here in south Florida along with new ones such as making Christmas tree ornaments from shells and sand dollars with my children and now grandchildren. Putting lights up around a Palm Tree instead of a Blue Spruce tree in our front yard. Being able to enjoy the beach and festivities without worrying about the bundling up in case of a snow storm to watch the Boat Parades up and down the Inter costal Waterway. Yes we all keep our traditions, putting some type of variation in there when the need arises.
