We stayed in our chairs until around 5 and then went to Cody's for their 2 for 1 fajita special (and a couple glasses of warmth - also 2 for 1) and returned at about 6:30 to our chairs. The chairs were right where we left them.
The Classy Lassies, the Silver Rockettes, and the Chatham Chick Cheerleaders gave a great show and the tree lighting was the highlight at 8.
The square was full of Villagers (and some from outside The VIllages) and everyone had a great time. Big traffic jam at 8 pm getting out! Took us 10 minutes to get onto Buena Vista. We laughed at that happening once a year instead of the 1 hour traffic jams every night going home from work in Washington, DC.

What a nice post. I am glad for you and pleased that the Christmas Spirit is alive and well in my favorite part of the universe.
