Trinette Zarran Lawyer Miami Gardens
“I’m shopping for gifts,” Trinette Zarran wrote in an email. “Running around town making sure to take care of my loved ones so they feel extra special this year. Got some good deals on Black Friday and Amazon during Cyber Monday as well. Feeling blessed to have my family during the holidays and being able to spend time together. Thankful for all the memories of loved ones and blessed with the presence of those still here. Happy Holidays.”

“I am here for a year, and I am here with my girlfriend and the only gift I’m planning to give this year is [a trip to] Disney for Christmas,” Tomas Amitrano said. “It’s a surprise, don’t tell her.”
Michael Coote Retired Miami Lakes
“As the children have gotten older and moved out of the house, the gift that is love of family has never been more important,” Michael Coote wrote in an email. “Spending time with family and loved ones is the priority this year, rather than the number of presents under the tree.”
