0:10 florida
0:11 is a little community
0:13 of just over a thousand residents
0:16 by the name of christmas
0:20 it's a real place

0:30 years

0:41 highway 50 is also known as colonial
0:43 drive in this case
0:45 the 23 700 block of east colonial
0:50 these cross streets is where you can
0:52 find
0:53 the sign
0:55 right here
0:56 in orange county florida community
0:59 obviously there's an orange county
1:00 california this is not referred to as
1:02 the oc here on this coast
1:05 very few people even say orange county
1:06 out here but there is an orange county
1:09 where they have the wreath
1:11 placed here double wreaths
1:13 and triple bells
1:15 well i guess it'd be six bells just
1:16 double wreath a wreath there and a
1:18 wreath there let me flip this screen up
1:21 and do the intro
1:24 screen is now up so i can see myself and
1:28 wearing
1:30 an appropriate t-shirt while traffic
1:32 over there
1:33 is that this looking at me
1:36 welcome everyone adam the
1:39 woo here a little information about the
1:41 last video i did here 11 years ago two
1:44 at the moment
1:46 i had gotten a new dslr i was very
1:48 excited
1:49 starting the youtube career that i now
1:51 have formulated for myself i had a very
1:55 a camera that was not the best quality
1:56 the resolution was horrible and i was
1:59 very excited because
2:01 that morning i invested some money into
2:03 a dslr at the time a brand new one
2:05 11 years ago
2:08 hello
2:10 merry christmas
2:12 that's awesome my attitude on this video
2:14 is going to be a little bit different
2:16 and much better
2:18 i had not done any research that day i
2:20 expected to show up here
2:23 and there to be a plethora of lights
2:26 activities
2:28 maybe
2:30 some elves and santa
2:32 around
2:33 or at least a adornment of lights on a
2:37 lot of the houses that was not the case
2:39 now i know what christmas florida is it
2:42 is a tiny
2:44 quaint community
2:46 and i'm going to focus more on
2:48 that
2:49 show what is still here show some of the
2:51 relics of the past and what they are
2:53 doing to move forward
2:55 with celebrating not only
2:57 christmas which is as a recording of
2:59 this tomorrow this is christmas eve but
3:01 they do it all year there is a permanent
3:04 christmas tree which used to be right
3:06 across the street over there i will walk
3:07 over there show those remnants but also
3:10 show where the pneumas are
3:11 join me
3:13 as a mosquito has just
3:19 shall you
3:19 all right crossing over the road here
3:21 this is awesome
3:22 i did mention i was wearing the shirt
3:24 right there with santa
3:26 on there
3:28 you know just the way you learn things
3:30 over time about how
3:32 you want to approach things how you want
3:34 to present things
3:36 i didn't really present things 11 years
3:38 ago here in the way i would show them
3:40 today but it's still out there you can
3:42 still find it
3:44 it's comical
3:45 but it's not how it's not the way i
3:47 would do things
3:48 current day this is where the new tree
3:50 is
3:51 right here check this out
4:00 it's going to be more of a detailed
4:00 excursion
4:02 around the town
4:03 an incorporated community
4:05 now there is the pine grove church
4:07 building
4:08 over here now this is on the opposite
4:10 corner
4:11 of where the old timey tree
4:14 used to be that was here year round and
4:17 there is a new timey tree
4:20 that has been placed here on the other
4:21 corner so you could call this a little
4:23 bit of an update
4:24 from a decade ago when i was here
4:27 now a lot of my friends have been here
4:28 since i did that video 10 11 years ago
4:31 tim tracker's been out here did an
4:33 episode world of micah
4:36 he has been out here and covered
4:38 and most recently aimless adventures was
4:42 out here just a couple weeks ago
4:44 and i'll probably be touching on some of
4:46 the subjects that he
4:48 showed
4:49 but also maybe see if i could find
4:50 something else and put my my little spin
4:52 on it and i encourage anyone else
4:55 that's in the area to stop by here you
4:58 know anyone that
5:00 documents history in the past
5:02 and whatnot just like myself and those
5:05 that i've mentioned
5:07 it is a fantastic
5:09 but just be aware that there's not a
5:12 whole heck of a lot
5:14 out here now what i'm seeing at the
5:16 moment is more than was here 11 years
5:19 ago
5:24 there's a manger scene here
5:24 so maybe the town has embraced it a
5:27 little bit more
5:28 than they did back then
5:30 who knows
5:37 and you can see
5:37 been taken from the manger
5:39 and
5:40 right there the lamp of mary and joseph
5:44 what can i give him poor as i am
5:47 if i were a shepherd i give him a lamb
5:49 if i were a wise man i do my part what
5:52 can i give him
5:54 give him my heart
6:00 i realize not everyone celebrates
6:00 christmas and that's fine
6:02 and if you do
6:03 i hope you enjoy this this walk around
6:07 the christmas season
6:15 and if you don't
6:15 i also hope you enjoy it if you do or
6:16 you don't
6:18 i happen to celebrate christmas
6:24 and love the nativity scene
6:24 and there's two different two different
6:26 types of versions of christmas and i
6:28 embrace both
6:30 the religious aspect
6:36 there was no more room at the end and
6:36 then also the fun aspect
6:39 which could be seen as i flip this
6:42 which could be seen
6:43 as the santa claus aspect right here
6:47 and both of those
6:55 whatever your forte is now back here
6:56 behind this church is a post office
6:58 and at the post office
7:01 they will stamp
7:03 they will give the the postmark stamp to
7:05 wherever you mail it to and it will say
7:07 christmas florida and for what i was
7:09 reading
7:10 starting basically after thanksgiving
7:13 the three or four people who work at the
7:15 post office
7:17 they don't hire any more anymore workers
7:19 so they get kind of bogged down with a
7:21 lot of tourists that just pass through
7:23 here going from the beach which is that
7:25 direction you know west westward that
7:27 way
7:28 over eastbound towards downtown orlando
7:30 which is
7:31 my gosh right about 30 miles give or
7:33 take
7:34 now a little more history
7:36 you'll notice this states fort christmas
7:40 which was built back in 1835
7:43 three miles north
7:46 okay the r is missing so that kind of
7:47 threw me off three miles no th
7:51 of this marker so three miles no th or
7:54 north
7:55 and this little marker was erected here
7:56 in 1951
7:58 fort christmas is how the town
8:00 got its name and the fort got its name
8:04 because it was
8:06 when the when everyone showed up here to
8:08 start building the fort the first
8:10 settlement
8:11 it was on christmas
8:13 day which would be tomorrow
8:16 and they started building it in 1835 so
8:18 it got its name i hope i got that right
8:21 christmas day is when they arrived here
8:24 to start building the fort
8:27 and they said you know what what a great
8:28 name because we arrived here on
8:30 christmas day let's just call the fort
8:33 fort christmas this baptist church right
8:36 over here
8:37 is titled fort christmas baptist church
8:44 oh
8:44 there goes a
8:47 ambulance and a fire truck just went by
8:48 from the christmas fire department
8:51 okay i'm gonna walk over to across the
8:53 cross streets here
8:55 where the new manger scene is here
8:58 they're cleaning out this area they have
8:59 just torn down these trees cut down
9:01 these trees
9:02 so this is gonna be the new christmas
9:05 right here just an assumption but this
9:08 is the new permanent christmas tree and
9:10 new
9:11 permanent manger scene the old one the
9:13 relics which i'm gonna go i'm gonna go
9:15 snoop around go ahead
9:17 snoop around
9:19 as ace ventura would say
9:22 it's right over there and i'm kind of
9:24 walking through
9:25 these the shrubbery here
9:27 i also have some appropriate colorful
9:29 socks on
9:31 celebrating the day
9:34 i just love this i wanted to go out
9:36 this is also kind of my merry christmas
9:38 video
9:40 to everyone even though i'm recording on
9:41 christmas eve
9:43 i want to wish everyone who's watching
9:44 this a merry christmas
9:47 or whatever it is that you celebrate i
9:49 hope you have a great day
9:51 so i'm gonna walk across the street here
9:54 on the corner
9:56 of christmas road in east colonial
9:59 i should also point out that it's a
10:01 balmy 75 degrees out here
10:05 in town
10:30 i set the camera up kind of wedged it
10:30 between the stop sign
10:32 kind of show you where i put it
10:34 to get that angle
10:35 look at this
10:37 i just kind of wedged it right in there
10:43 got really quiet now
10:43 all the traffic went away
10:46 okay walking across
10:49 walking across the road made it across
10:51 the road there
10:52 to where i just was standing over to
10:54 where the former
10:56 permanent christmas tree used to be
11:01 and the signage has seen better days
11:04 back in there some of the garland here
11:06 kind of
11:07 flown over this direction
11:13 and i was watching aimless famous
11:13 adventures when he was here and he was
11:15 wondering what this stated
11:18 and i looked it up i found an old photo
11:20 of what this used to be
11:22 and what it stated was the permanent
11:25 christmas tree at christmas florida is
11:27 the symbol of love and good will
11:30 the christmas spirit
11:32 every day
11:34 in the year
11:36 you can kind of see it but i did find
11:39 i found an old photo online of what that
11:42 said so i just wanted to put that out
11:44 there for anyone that's wondering and
11:46 the tree which was here is still here
11:49 but it's not adorned
11:51 properly anymore
11:56 does have some lights on it
11:58 and there is so there's some power units
12:01 down below
12:03 now it is a possibility when nightfall
12:05 rears its head
12:07 that it will be lit up but it's highly
12:09 doubtful that this is even acknowledged
12:12 on this side of the street the other
12:14 side of the street
12:15 most likely will be illuminated and you
12:18 can see the santa structure
12:20 looking across saying why am i not over
12:23 there
12:24 on that side
12:25 one year santa i'm going to assure you
12:28 you will make your way this is not
12:31 this is a this is a stationary
12:37 the statue of a santa should be
12:37 stating this might not even be movable
12:39 because this thing is solid
12:50 now this
12:50 obviously was where the manger scene
12:53 used to be this was the permanent major
12:55 scene a lot more durable than the new
12:57 one that's across the way
12:59 this thing's not going anywhere this
13:00 could
13:02 probably last through some hurricane
13:04 gale force winds got some ant beds down
13:08 downstairs there
13:09 here's a little window leading out to
13:11 the foliage
13:13 and this is where mary and joseph and
13:21 manger would have been
13:21 now around the back for years
13:23 there have been other items
13:25 back here
13:26 and not just the
13:28 the leaves from the palm trees there
13:32 but often the distance back here
13:48 so make sure when you stop off just walk
13:48 back behind
13:50 and take a look at this stuff
13:52 oh wait
13:53 before i head over there
14:00 it's a piece of a wall
14:00 and kind of a structure that's mounted
14:03 on the side there or step
14:07 looks to be a foundation
14:09 well part of a wooden foundation of like
14:11 a garden
14:12 it could have been right over in here
14:35 you got a star there in the middle
14:35 used to be a fountain
14:52 look at that
14:52 there is some sort of a stamp on there
14:55 like an engraving might be able to get
14:57 some information off that
15:06 you know for a moment there i thought
15:06 there was an eagle in that tree but it's
15:08 just the way the branch is
15:11 yeah it's just the way the branches it's
15:12 just a piece of wood
15:14 kind of like right up there
15:22 this is neat how these are just back
15:22 here
15:28 and over here might be frosty i see a
15:28 snowman of some sort i'm just you know
15:30 first one i think of is frosty
15:32 yeah i think it is frosty
15:38 this is like a like a scavenger hunt of
15:38 sorts
15:39 because you got frosty or
15:42 frosty's cousin there
15:44 and then the more you continue through
15:47 looks like there's some other characters
15:49 and items
15:51 back in here
15:52 way back in here
15:54 here is a gentleman with
15:57 a hat on back oh no
15:59 it is
16:01 it's a couple
16:03 getting frisky
16:05 right there
16:07 getting close to smooching
16:15 yeah you see they kind of have like
16:15 you don't want to call them foundations
16:16 but this border here
16:18 along the side with the wood
16:27 you know what's interesting
16:32 my mom used to do ceramics
16:32 when she was younger so when i was a
16:35 youth my mom did ceramics and she she
16:38 had a piece like this painted
16:39 differently
16:40 but this is the type of ceramic
16:44 that my mom would make
16:45 that's ceramic class back when i was
16:47 young
16:48 look at that an old ceramic
16:51 cornucopia of sorts
16:54 that could be the work of some termites
17:01 i'm no expert on bugs but yeah that
17:01 that tree has been nod out appropriately
17:04 by some bugs
17:06 and you have some
17:08 some adornment here
17:10 and another one up here
17:12 kind of an unusual weird area
17:16 back in this section
17:18 some sort of a planter or a fountain
17:22 and this is
17:24 i don't know maybe a hundred yards off
17:26 the road
17:30 you would never know there's no signage
17:30 saying go back here and look at
17:32 you know the
17:34 abandoned relics back here but there are
17:36 some back here
17:38 that goes for pretty much anywhere if
17:40 you just look around long enough you
17:41 never know what you're going to find
17:44 i don't want it to be a bear however
17:47 i think i'm pretty good in bears on this
17:48 section
18:03 got some cinder blocks over here
18:03 to go through these ferns
18:10 another star engraved there on that
18:10 piece of concrete
18:11 and this was a photograph or a picture
18:14 of some sort
18:15 and whatever was painted on there
18:18 or to use your interpretation of what
18:19 that was
18:20 because it has been weather worn and
18:22 faded off but you got the two doves one
18:26 and one there with the olive branch
18:29 if i remember correctly
18:35 and the cinder blocks here
18:35 and this is directly behind
18:38 where
18:40 the nativity was you see other people
18:43 across the way are getting their photos
18:45 with the sign leading into town probably
18:46 very popular today
18:48 well here we go
18:50 another cross here i didn't notice
18:52 before
18:55 i really like the rocks here
18:57 i like the style of the rocks here you
18:59 can see how it's weather worn it gives
19:00 it
19:02 some nice little ambiance even with the
19:04 moss
19:05 along the top
19:08 that's pretty cool
19:15 and then over here
19:15 this is something i didn't notice before
19:23 there's some tile work painting
19:23 on the back of that sign that really is
19:24 difficult to make out what it said about
19:26 the christmas tree you have the tree
19:29 and you got some other items all through
19:31 here this is neat
19:32 and down here it says jeanette that
19:34 could have been the artist
19:36 jeanette there and then up top
19:40 gloria
19:42 excelsis dayo
19:55 so cool
19:55 yeah who would know this is even back
19:57 like this oxen
20:02 piece of artwork
20:02 it's right here around the back of where
20:04 the wording used to side
20:06 so you're getting the mixture of both
20:07 you're getting santa
20:09 you're getting the
20:10 the biblical story as well as santa
20:12 you're here
20:14 all in one
20:15 about the wonderful things of christmas
20:18 here in christmas florida back in my car
20:21 now
20:21 going past this field where there are
20:23 some sheep
20:25 hello sheep
20:27 doing some grazing sheep
20:32 looking for fort christmas i know this
20:32 is the town of christmas but i'm looking
20:34 maybe if you know where the fort is just
20:37 keep going down this road
20:39 just down this road that works
20:41 okay
20:48 the sheep said just keep going down this
20:48 road
20:49 let me get a second opinion excuse me
20:51 i'm looking for fort christmas i know
20:53 i'm in christmas
20:54 but is the fort around here sheep
20:58 excuse me sheep
21:00 is the fort around here or look at this
21:02 little infant
21:04 sheep
21:05 all right i'll keep carrying on down
21:07 this road thank you sheep
21:08 carry on okay i found the fort
21:11 it is behind this section
21:14 and directly beside me
21:16 is the fire station
21:18 and that right big the foot
21:20 yep we made it
21:22 to
21:23 the fire station which is directly
21:25 across from the fort
21:26 fire rescue station 84
21:29 and look at the name
21:31 christmas
21:33 i don't know why i get so excited about
21:36 called the historical park
21:39 winter hours from eight to six summer
21:42 hours eight to eight
21:44 you can see it used to be
21:46 different hours but they have changed it
21:48 to six during winter hours as a new six
21:51 they have painted over with the other
21:53 hour may have been eight to eight at one
21:55 point or eight to seven
21:56 but today that does not apply
21:59 and they do have proper signage out to
22:01 let anyone including myself
22:03 even though i looked it up beforehand
22:05 did not 11 years ago god thought it'd be
22:07 open 11 years ago when i show up on
22:08 christmas eve and it was sorely mistaken
22:11 but now
22:12 they have this little
22:14 signage here planted
22:16 in the grand park closed on christmas
22:18 eve day
22:20 and christmas day
22:26 what about christmas eve night probably
22:26 all the same thing probably all the same
22:27 thing they have two pieces of signage up
22:29 looks like there's another car pulling
22:31 in right there
22:32 see
22:33 not the only one that's kind of curious
22:40 oh that was a
22:40 that was a mail car
22:42 that was a mail car just dropped off
22:43 some mail over there with that box
22:46 and this is the orlando buzzards
22:49 remote control club see
22:52 it's a it's a male vehicle
22:54 dropping off not a traditional style but
22:56 someone's personal vehicle or a personal
22:59 style vehicle
23:05 right here the orlando buzzards
23:05 rc club
23:06 and the mascot is a buzzard
23:10 look
23:11 this is the orlando buzzard
23:18 kind of hoisted on top of an airplane
23:18 drawing and has a remote control rc
23:24 pilot all the remote control cars
23:27 that's cool
23:29 of course
23:30 on this day
23:31 there's also the wind sock
23:38 some wildlife you might see on this day
23:38 no one's out because
23:40 it's christmas eve
23:45 if you do not see an animal you may see
23:45 their presence
23:46 such as tracks
23:49 droppings or feathers
23:52 the droppings of a marsh rabbit
23:54 or maybe even a
23:56 plated woodpecker
23:58 or a gopher tortoise now leaving that
24:00 area and just going a few blocks
24:03 maybe a quarter of a mile not even that
24:04 far to the next spot i want to show
24:06 there's a mule
24:08 right over there in the distance
24:11 it might be a horse
24:13 tough to tell from this
24:15 from this distance
24:17 and there is a pump
24:19 that has a fake rock around it
24:21 not sure why i'm showing that but i am
24:23 does it look like i'm able to drive up
24:25 in this property
24:26 but the gate is unlocked
24:28 it says
24:29 keep
24:31 gate closed at all times
24:33 going in and out
24:36 so i'm gonna
24:38 go on in here
24:46 i don't know what's in here
24:46 that would
24:47 have to have the gate closed but i'll
24:49 put this back over
24:52 now i'm looking for
24:54 a resting place of
24:57 a famous sculpture that is here in town
25:04 even got some seasoned greetings here
25:04 and santa and his sleigh
25:07 now up top
25:09 very difficult to read it
25:11 some of the wording that is here this is
25:13 kind of a little bit better
25:17 so you don't you won't definitely want
25:18 to follow the rules not that i don't
25:19 know who would break
25:21 those rules but if you're thinking about
25:23 doing that
25:24 do not
25:25 also a little more information right up
25:29 also no alcoholic beverages
25:35 no arrangements are to be made without
25:37 the trustees present
25:50 okay i'm going to try to find you know
25:52 what maybe it's right here
25:54 along the front
26:03 so i'm gonna try to match up that photo
26:03 see if i can find
26:04 who i'm looking for after about 25 30
26:07 minutes of searching took a while
26:09 because there was no kind of bearings on
26:11 anything behind
26:13 the one photo i saw
26:15 i couldn't really get the bearings i had
26:16 to check each individual
26:19 headstone
26:20 but i have found the wheeler
26:23 family plot
26:25 they're all here
26:31 and the fascinating thing is
26:31 someone else in the family had a similar
26:34 name
26:34 to tex
26:36 there was also a rex a john rex
26:39 now tex
26:40 his nickname
26:42 was james hewlett wheeler who was a
26:45 sculptor
26:47 a cowboy sculptor
26:50 born in 01
26:52 to 54.
26:57 and he did a famous
26:57 sculpture of
26:58 seabiscuit the horse
27:00 and also one of will rogers
27:03 on will rogers horse
27:06 i'll show some photos of his work
27:09 but he is here in christmas
27:12 and for anyone interested
27:14 that doesn't want to
27:15 walk the entire grounds
27:17 here just gives some bearings here
27:19 if you want to come pay your respects
27:22 it's behind the chapel
27:24 right over there
27:25 james hewlett wheeler
27:27 cowboy sculptor
27:34 pretty neat i never realized that until
27:34 today when i was researching some stuff
27:36 other than the obvious
27:40 pretty fascinating
27:41 he was born here
27:43 as well
27:45 the writing on this photo i found says
27:47 tex wheeler statue of will rogers and
27:51 soap suds
27:53 at will rogers ranch
27:55 in santa monica california
27:57 look at that look how realistic that
27:59 looks
28:00 it's very talented
28:05 i hope that still exists i hope that
28:05 hope his work
28:07 of will rogers and soapside still exist
28:10 back over onto colonial highway 50
28:13 at the community center here at two
28:15 three seven six zero
28:18 nothing going on
28:20 this evening
28:21 boy it's looking
28:24 i mean obviously people are spending
28:25 time with her
28:26 their loved ones
28:28 but i am happy to report
28:30 that this wooden version of santa is
28:33 still here even though falling even more
28:35 apart than he was 11 years ago
28:39 when i
28:40 when i quoted that
28:42 he had failed me
28:48 he didn't fail me wouldn't santa it was
28:48 just i was having a day
29:01 to be honest
29:01 it doesn't look like this gets much much
29:03 much usage
29:06 at all
29:11 i'll check back on in on you in a few
29:13 next time i go back through here wooden
29:15 wooden santa
29:17 it's like the termites have gotten to
29:18 you too
29:27 and as i was driving over here i noticed
29:27 there's something else across the road
29:28 that when i was over there i completely
29:30 missed
29:32 right on the corner of where
29:34 the original tree was
29:36 and i was kind of rooting around through
29:38 the
29:38 brush there are other items over there
29:42 that i completely missed
29:44 so i'm gonna walk over there
29:46 show them don't know how i didn't notice
29:48 this the first time i was over here
29:50 just a few feet away farther down the
29:52 what the wooded section
29:56 is another covered area
29:58 with another tree in there it looks like
30:00 an angel
30:01 and possibly a dog let me zoom in
30:31 just completely
30:31 covered up in
30:32 foliage
30:34 you can't really get over there because
30:36 the water
30:38 standing water there
30:43 no i might be able to walk around i'm
30:43 gonna walk around through there
30:45 i'm gonna go see what that plaque says
30:47 just to give some bearings where i was
30:49 back before in the little mode area
30:54 so that's where the original tree was
30:57 the new tree
30:59 over there an airboat just went by being
31:01 pulled by a truck
31:11 it's a tire
31:11 down there
31:17 oh i don't want there to be any snakes
31:17 please don't be any snakes
32:07 dedicated to the prince of peace
32:07 made possible through the generosity of
32:09 edward dent
32:12 tomina dent
32:20 back in the 50s
32:20 wow
32:28 we got some thorns
32:29 through there
32:54 yeah this is like this is a prime spot
32:54 for a florida slithering creature a
32:58 snake
33:03 there's any snakes down there
33:03 let these holiday socks
33:05 ward you off
33:12 okay i'm good and of course i have to
33:12 show swampy
33:15 world's largest gator
33:18 see the perspective from that car that's
33:20 parked in front of swampy
33:22 this is a gator park just on the
33:23 outskirts just outside
33:26 of town but i wanted to show this
33:28 and i've been here before
33:30 a few years ago did a whole video
33:33 on what's behind
33:35 oh swampy
33:37 yeah
33:39 swampy
33:40 here's the thing
33:42 pulling into the rv park here in town
33:46 right along the road
33:47 see a sleigh there it'd be kind of neat
33:49 to stay here camp here you can stay here
33:53 almost two weeks or two days shy of two
33:55 weeks
33:56 and you can celebrate 12 days of the
33:58 holiday the 12 days of christmas
34:00 in christmas
34:12 all right turn around going back into
34:12 town this is right on the outskirts of
34:14 town also technically in town all right
34:16 definitely could use a touch-up of paint
34:19 i'm happy these still exist
34:22 christmas park
34:25 is what i'm heading into and a lot of
34:27 appropriately named roads through here
34:29 for example
34:31 comet street and cupid ave
34:36 corner of comet and cupid
34:40 that is so cool
34:45 didn't realize that till then
34:45 and if you follow that road back around
34:47 it will bring you to blitzen
34:52 after the reindeer
34:55 when you're here at these cross streets
34:58 one thing you don't want to do
35:00 step in that
35:03 that is a ginormous ant bed
35:06 here on the corner of colonial
35:09 highway 50 and blitzen
35:12 if the ants don't get you
35:14 there's a lot of bees a little beehive
35:16 of activity down in there
35:18 here on the corner of blitzen
35:28 don't want to step in that
35:28 the bad news
35:39 and there are residents all through
35:39 these streets
35:47 another interesting one here
35:47 corner of saint catherine
35:50 and antler
35:58 antler
36:04 you can also find this grocery store
36:04 the deli they have subs pizza
36:07 philly cheese steak
36:09 but notice there on the sea is a santa
36:12 cap it's there year round
36:15 and good to see even saint nicholas
36:21 has a street
36:21 saint nick
36:28 it's appropriate and that's gonna do it
36:28 for today
36:35 tree
36:35 adorned with festooned
36:38 garland and whatnot
36:41 christmas florida i have said that word
36:43 so many times
36:45 and it should i'm gonna probably say it
36:46 again
36:47 christmas park in christmas florida a
36:51 real
36:52 town
36:53 named after the holiday
36:57 pretty much have shown if there's
36:58 anything i missed
37:00 it is because it is
37:01 really heavily hidden
37:04 traversed all the different streets not
37:06 a whole lot not a lot of
37:09 couple different neighborhoods
37:12 i think i found everything of vast
37:15 importance to the name
37:20 in the incorporated town
37:28 look over here you see
37:28 there is a santa
37:31 i'm not going to traverse over there to
37:32 see santa but someone has
37:35 someone has traverse back there
37:37 to see old jolly saint nick
37:55 the jolly fella
38:01 right here on the corner of east
38:01 colonial and cupid
38:04 is where i'm ending this
38:08 he's colonially
38:15 there's another
38:17 another entry point
38:21 underneath the shell station
38:24 where i fueled up
38:26 got some gas
38:34 truly an interesting place
38:34 if ever there was one and it really
38:37 makes a lot of sense to be here on
38:42 as stated that's going to do it for
38:44 today
38:45 i'll see you in the next video the vlog
38:51 right off of about to end right off of
38:55 highway 50.
39:22 that package doesn't have a name on it
39:25 so i just caught someone's attention
