It is just better to have them and not use them than to need them and not be able to get them because of site issuance closures. I sometimes get them when my sons come in and end up not going to any of the facilities. If everyone here had 12-20 guests on an ongoing basis, then yes, there would be a problem. Some families are not able to get together every year, even for Christmas and when they can, they want to share all they can with them. I think we can all live with that. After all, isn't that part of what Christmas is about....sharing. Until something becomes a real and ongoing issue, let's cut folks a little slack. I sure don't want something here that I can't share with my family (no, ours don't all come at once and probably never will and I do get to see most of them fairly often, some more than others). They would all wonder why we chose to live in such a "crabby" atmosphere if we couldn't enjoy things with them. Most of us are proud of what we have here and love to show it off to others.

Of course another way to look at it is your "investment" may lose value if The Villages develops a reputation that, once you move here, your family has severe limitations on visiting you.
