ORMOND BEACH, FL - - It's November 15...do you know where your Christmas list is?  I ask because over a week ago we encountered holiday music playing at a nearby mall...aisles are lined with holiday decorations...the Christmas lights are already up at the OB business offices like the town hall and library and police station...and it's been mid-70's-plus with no snow in the forecast.
