roflao, Sands. Typing is about the only thing I can do that doesn't hurt. Seems like I can place my hands in perfect position for that.

Ouch!
 

Jim broke his wrist back in July and still complains of pain (even more now that it is getting cold here)! Hope you are on the mend soon.

May not be the greatest places in The Villages to eat, but there's always IHOP and Denny's. Might not be a Country Club atmosphere, but you won't starve.

I worked in the RR industry and it wasn't until very recently that they shut down for some holidays. Used to be 24/7/365. My wife is a nurse and also had to work holidays.

We enjoyed a bountiful and delicious buffet brunch last Christmas at the Lakeside Inn in Mt. Dora. It's fixed price, $34.95, and reservations required, 800-556-5016.

Check with The Waterfront Inn here if you don't want to drive. Most stand alone resturants will be closed but most Hotel resturants will be open.

I think I saw in the Daily Sun that Orange Blossom Hills has one ....or was it Hacienda Hills?

If you find absolutely nothing open wherever you're located, you can always head for a Waffle House!! 24/7/365 :)

I absolutely agree that everyone should have the option of being with their families on Christmas Day, perhaps the holiest of days, but I'll have 10 people to feed here in a rental kitchen that I am very unfamiliar with. It will cost a fortune to go out and buy every little thing to put a real meal on the table so if there are any good restaurants or country clubs that MUST be open, I'm up for it. Please post if you know of any good places taking reservations. Thanks

Some of the best Grease around!

I suspect Sandy and I will be hitting one of their restaurants at some point on Christmas Day - we'll be on the road the entire day!

Bill

nkrifats, like grease? If you ever drive through ATL on the way to TV, stop at The Varsity. It's supposed to be the country's first fast-food restaurant-- opened in 1928. It gives Waffle House a run for it's money on grease. :22yikes: Seriously, the best onion rings ever.

Sorry, hijack over and out.

Will have to try that.

Or if you're east of Atlanta and happen by Athens/UGA, there's one there as well!!!

Bill

OMG, you are so right. Love, love, LOVE The Varsity!

It's also supposedly the world's largest drive in, with space for 600 cars. Big inside too, seating about 800 people. It's right beside I-75 at the North Ave. exit, a few miles north of downtown ATL and directly across the interstate from Ga. Tech campus.

Here's the link: The Varsity:: What'll ya have!
