We did this, but we called it christmas in hick town. I'm a cracker and I know it was a name given us from pioneer days and doesn't mean a racial slur. So, good for you to NOT go politically correct and have fun.
We exchanged flamingos for reindeer on the santa display, we had time to plan it and bought light up flamiongos in the summer frm Big Lots. You can use the regular kind too but for sure have a couple hanging from a wire so it looks like they are taking off.
We had dummy of Mrs. Claus in a rocker with a corn pipe using an elf for a foot stool.
mr. claus was a dummy in a plaid flannel shirt with a tool belt and combat boots and cut off shorts.
I know we could have gone a classy route and made it look all Bahamas and sunshine but we were going for backwoods and moonshine. It was more of a You might be a redneck if...
and we used the lighted palm trees and borrowed a neighbors' broken riding mower for the sleigh.
We got a prize from the neighborhood association for house we most likely would help you take it down the day after christmas, but it was an award.
Since you are going cracker for your theme, give beach wear, beach towels and beach spa day presents. You could serve sugar cane, orange blossom honey, fresh fish, venison, roast pork, chttlins, fresh fruit, citrus etc. If I have jogged your brain any, I am glad.
Do some FLorida history research and have a hoot or what;s the point of showing up?

Answer 4

First put rouge on everyone's neck (red neck), get everyone an advertising cap (like Joe's cement or Jim Bob's Hog farm), then serve spam, Vienna sausages, Velveeta, saltine crackers, pickles, and RC Cola with moon pies and give the guys tins of Skoal or plugs of chewing tobacco. You can also give them little salted Spanish peanuts to put in their beer or Coca Cola - a real Texas delicacy. For the main coarse (sic) you can serve red beans and rice, fried turkey, ham, yams, and mince pies.

Serve the beverages in Mason jars and make napkins from bandannas. Tie silver cans, and corn cobs on the tree and pop popcorn to string around the tree.
