We are going to Hilton Head for New Year's Eve. Hell will freeze over before I pay anything for a table at what'ssupposedtobefree for us old retired villagers. Besides, it's crowded and who needs that? Why go somewhere where you can't move...this is THE VILLAGES and not Times Square. So, I elect not to be :edit:..and, frankly, I elect not to care. Like someone said, we are retired. We long ago gave up crowds at New Year's and have for many years had a fantastic dinner party, best wines & champagnes, with good friends..We dress for dinner with tuxedos, etc. Next morning, we all walk on the beach and have a mimosa breakfast overlooking the ocean. :joke: To each his and her own....but we enjoy a little elegance and a nice start to the New Year. ;D
