This is the eighth installment in the series "Small Towns... Big Surprises" which will continue every Monday through the end of the summer.It's Christmas in July and every other month of the year in this week's small town... Christmas, Florida. While you may want to wait until late November or early December to plan your visit so you can take advantage of the unique postmark on your holiday mail, you definitely will want to make this a family outing. Why not pack a picnic lunch before you go and enjoy Fort Christmas Historical Park while you're there!
