Normally I would upload an episode the following morning after filming it but went ahead and got this edited and uploaded same day just to wish everyone a Merry Christmas ! I’ll be enjoying the day with family tomorrow , see you soon .
We visited Christmas 6 years ago. The lovely lady in the gift shop was amazed as we are from England and she said most tourists stick to Disney World. Not a lot there but we did enjoy our visit around the Fort and my quirky gifts from the shop still have pride of place in my home... Greetings from England 🏴✨🎄
The following, submitted December 2005, is from Mary Shearhart, niece of the artist James H Wheeler He was born at Fort Christmas, Florida in April 24, 1901. My mother, three years younger, was his only sibling and very close as their mother died when he was only five and raised like foster children by friends and family members. His father was not a good provider and basically abandoned them until they were old enough to work around the home and keep house for him. He showed exceptional artistic talent at a very young age. His teen years were spent as a cowhand in the wilds of Orange and Osceola Counties in Central Florida. He remained a simple, Florida Cracker. He did get a scholarship to Paris, and he went to study sculpting. Was part of the 1932 Olympic as part of a sculpting display, or show
Thx Adam for a great year of awesome vlogs in 2021! My favorite vids you and your dad going back to your childhood homes and the place where your parents met at college! Can’t wait for 2022 ATW vlogs! Happy Holidays! Cheers!
I lived in Orlando in the nineties oh brother this is really sad to see. I'm in Stilllwater Minnesota and I was their for 7 hours Christmas Eve enjoying the Christmas lights and festivities in that small town. Absolutely beautiful place to visit.
I remember, way back when, stopping there as a family when we were in Florida. It was a booming place back then. How things seem to change. Take great care and have yourself a very Merry Christmas from Bruce and Otis here in Nova Scotia, Canada!
HEY ATW...MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU! THANK YOU FOR such a good present. With all that's on television, RU-vid,and all the other outlets, nothing teaches like a new TheDailyWoo upload! I know I always thank you for your diligence and hard work to bring us these incredible forms of art, but I have to. I appreciate it more than I could ever say! Thank you.
I’d volunteer to repaint that faded sign. It’s a shame that so many little spots are overgrown. I drove through Christmas many times going from UCF back to Hollywood a long time ago. I remember being able to see the trio of crosses from Colonial.
Hi Adam and merry Christmas to you and your family. I just watched your original video from 10 years ago on your other channel about this town 😂 wow how time does fly. I’m currently re-watching all of your older videos it’s amazing to see how your style has changer over the years and I’m glad you’ve brought us along for the ride. Thank you as always and have a safe and happy holiday season.
Have a Merry Christmas! Found the sparking couple in the back hilarious! Great video! Thanks! P.S. Loved the videos with you and your dad going back to the old places. Those videos were so interesting and fun. I can see where you got your sense of humor. Never having been to Florida, you've given me a nicer sense of what it is like than what was pictured in my head.
Sidenote = Merry Christmas to you and your family, Woo. Thanks for the gift of sharing your journeys with us! It's appreciated! Looking forward to 2022! Dig it.
Been there several times throughout my life. One of those places that I would have loved to have seen when all of those relics that you found scattered around were new. Generations of the past embraced things differently than generations today do. ~~I enjoy going to Christmas in early December when they have their Christmas celebration called Cracker Christmas. It’s held in that county park that was closed. It’s an arts and crafts, food, and pioneer history kinda day. Merry Christmas Adam! 🎄🎄
Merry Christmas to all 🎄 I hope everyone has a Safe Christmas eve and Christmas day . Lots of Love ❤❤❤ Adam we'll catch you down the road or maybe bringing in the new year 🥳🥳
Adam, have a wonder Christmas! You have made this year so awesome for me! I have enjoyed all of your videos. Traveling from coast to coast you have shared so many wonderful and interesting places! Also enjoyed tagging along with you to the many baseball games. Enjoyed seeing your folks join you as well on your road trips. Loved seeing this little town. I look forward to 2022 and seeing where you go! Again Thank-you for sharing and appreciate all the work you do👍
Merry Christmas, Adam! I appreciate all it takes (and nobody really knows all the work you put into these) to do this!! I know you must get negativity. DON'T listen!! Hit DELETE (and smile while you do it) Way more than HALF A MILLION people value you, and I know I have no right to, but I consider you a friend. Peace and Prayers out for you.
Hey man....You know I've been watching for years and I just wanna say that I'm super thankful for the longer vids and no matter what u do ill always be watching!!! Thanks Adam!
You found a town called Christmas that’s awesome. I just wanted to thank you for the videos the last couple of years. It help mee whit the pandemic and lockdowns. I was looking forward every day for a new one. Just wanted to wish you a merry Christmas from the Nederlands. Keep up the good work. Season greetings, Arjan Hendriks.
I live right outside of Christmas (Wedgefield)! It's so small, no one knows it's here unless you live here lol. Cool to see you just down the road and also sad to have missed an opportunity to say hello! Merry Christmas, Adam!
Merry Christmas Adam :) And Natalie Thank you kindly for your entertainment over the year[s], your drive through the minus degree temperatures early this year I rewatch often
I remember traveling from North Carolina to Miami by car and my uncle brought us through Christmas Florida I was so excited as a child and looked out the window to everything they embrace Christmas year round. It was tacky but it was their Christmas Town that was in the early seventies.Merry Christmas 🎄 Adam and to your family may you reflect on this day for it's true meaning and think of ways to bring peace and happiness to this world
Merry Christmas! Reminds me of giant Santa Claus statue built by Kenneth Vaughn in the 1940's for a strip-mall/juice stand in Santa Claus Lane, California (now New England themed village) on the way to Santa Barbara. In 2003 statue was moved to a trailer park in Oxnard, CA. It can be seen from the 101 highway if you’re headed north.
My family liked to camp nearby and we always stopped at Santa's village. It was pretty slow last time I went there in 2008 ish. Glad the Santa statue lives on!
Adam, happy holidays and thank you for the content you provide. When I was at some of my lowest points your videos brought me comfort, and helped me escape with you on your adventures. Take care
I recited that poem in church when I was 6 years old! That was the first time I stood in front of a few hundred people and was very nervous! I too love Christmas and too soon it is over. I'm like the elves in the north pole- sun as Christmas is over I start looking forward to next Christmas! 🙂
Went here 30 years ago for an air boat ride whilst on my holiday from the UK. Thanks for the video, fabulous! Merry Christmas Adam, to you and your family. 🎅🏼
I lived at that edge of east Orlando. There was a town called Bithlo and then Christmas. The saying going east was Bithlo, the nightmare before Christmas. Or Bithlo mow your yard and find a car... LOL They had an old live Christmas tree and some evil stupid kids killed it once. I am glad they have a new one.
Hi Adam what a cheerful Christmas video thank you hope you have a lovely day with your family looking forward to new videos next year love from Scotland x
Hello Adam. I was getting the feeling as you were going through the area near old Christmas tree that it might be like the stations of the cross. No matter what it is real cool. We love your Vlogs. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Adam...I fuel up at that same shell station when I pass on my way to Port St. Lucie...Love driving through Christmas, FL...Very little traffic. on 50...Never seen the remnants of the old park...That was a great Christmas treat for me...Wishing you and yours a WONDERFUL New Year...Merry Christmas to all who read and best wishes for 2022...
We seriously missed you that day. We went there, took pictures, and mailed a card to a friend from the post office. Would have been awesome to say hello again and chat for a few. Hope you had a great Christmas and family time. We live just shy of 20 minutes west of there, so it was a perfect little visit for Christmas Eve.
Hey sir. Nice video! I’m from central Florida and the band that I’m in is playing in Christmas in about a week. Been by where you are many times. Appreciate your hard work. Happy New Year man!
In the middle of a forest There's a clearing by a stream Where a mother holds her newborn And the child begins to dream And he dreams of hopes unspoken When the tears of man will cease And his mother holds him closer For he is the Prince of peace
Thanks Adam for another good one. I think the old structure back across the street (30 min 20 seconds) is another portrayal of the mosaic mural you found earlier. Thanks again
