And speaking of Christmas, ONLY IN FLORIDA does Santa Claus hang ten for a great cause.
More than 210 surfers dressed like Santa, Frosty the Snowman, and other festive characters gathered Tuesday near Cocoa Beach for the city's "Surfin' Santas" charity event.
Proceeds from this year's event were donated to Grind For Life, a local non-profit that provides financial assistance to cancer patients and their families when traveling long distances to visit doctors or hospitals.
Event organizers say they will likely need to find a larger venue next year because of the increased popularity; this year a record number of Santas showed up on the beach. (Florida Today, Facebook)
