Ward’s Top-5: Holiday Memories

Each month I will post Top-5 Lists covering a variety of topics: books, movies, foods, etc. If you have a topic you want me to provide a list for, contact me.

Growing up in Florida, I had a different perspective on the holiday season. I can remember from my childhood:

1. Going to the beach most days on Christmas break.

2. Going fishing on New Year’s Eve.

3. Actually wearing a jacket for the first time in ten months.

4. Water skiing when others were snow skiing.

5. I recall during one cold snap seeing an unusual sight in a cemetery. The sprinklers had gone off overnight, leaving frozen arcs of water all across the graveyard.
