The scene isn't quite so pretty here in Florida - it looks more like early autumn - but the fond memories of a white Christmas remain.

When I was a child, my family spent every Christmas at Port Bay in Wolcott. The day started on East Port Bay Road, at my grandparents Clair & Mable Hillman's house across from Willow Point (just before the last hill). After a while we would drive around to Graves' Point and have Christmas dinner at my great-aunt and uncle Edna and Whitey Hillman's place.
