Also I find it embarrassing when embarrassment is spelled wrong.

Ever play guitar with mittens on?

How about introducing them to the old ways of entertaining like we did before all the electronics and have real interactions. You remember - card games, board games, walks, baking together, family dance night in living room, crafts, making ginger bread houses out of graham crackers, 20 questions, charades, you finish the story or picture, or even competing on current video games.

That will work, until they complain how boring grandma’s and the villages are, and decide not to spend the money to fly yo FLA next year for Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Has anyone noticed not that many families, are here this year? Or maybe it’s too cold for them. Just seems less busy this holiday, kind of like the Covid holidays. Just thoughts, while waiting to see if Santa missed our house, or is running a little late.

A good compromise may be to entertain in the afternoon, pre sundown based on temp prediction.

This is an embarassment to be honest.
Something we should really be concerned about - come on!!

Wow, this may be a new low. Only 9 posts to tell someone to go back north.

Many threads lately, asking for info, puts a target on your post, with seasoned and new posters. So sad, that this informational site is somewhat dying

This past week I've seen a few families on the golf courses and restaurants and the squares but yes, not as many.

It’s cold……families not out and about. Seems simple.

Yeah, I think they are all on this post.
I agree, some warm clothes, heaters for the players and it could be fun. I know, all the natives are saying stay up north....not nice, but honestly the square is one of the biggest draws for the visiting families, it's all they talk about and want to do.....and that's a good thing, it's fun and special to the villages. My thought is why don't they do everything and anything to make it happen. It's a very positive thing.
Merry Christmas
