We are able to be there while they are opening gifts for holidays and sometimes we eat dinner with them as they sit on our table. I found it helps me not to get homesick and it is fun. Our children encouraged us to purchase here because they know we are so much more active in The Villages and they don't have to worry about us. Good Luck with your decision.

This can also be done on an iPad using FaceTime. That’s how we “spent” Thanksgiving this year with our kids and toddler grandson who are all in California.
