Here it is: holiday season in Florida.
Unlike many parts of the country, Florida is able to offer outdoor activities year-round that do not require you to dress in 38 layers to stay warm.
One late-year economic driver in Florida is college football bowl games.
This year, the Sunshine State plays host to eight different bowl games between Dec. 16 and Jan. 1.
We talk about the economic impact of the bowls, and how sports tourism thrives during the holiday season.
