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.

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

And with all the kids and grandkids in town, no other place to go that’s free….

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

This is just bizarre to me. In every major Northeast US city they have New Years eve celebrations every year with live bands and vendors in MUCH colder temps than forecast for here plus there's no rain or snow forecast, so cancelling just because people would have to wear long pants and a jacket makes no sense. This is an embarassment to be honest.

If the north's policies make sense to you and are ones you prefer, you should go back. That road you drove to move here goes both ways. You are now in the south, we do things different here.

Ridiculous! How could you even think that musicians should be playing, guitars and drums in 30-degree weather for hours? Figure out something else to do with your family!

Where there's a will, there's a way. This is my opinion. No barking necessary, my family is not visiting this year, they are spending with up north gramma , but i still enjoy going to the square and watching the little ones enjoy the villages, who wouldn't....Merry Christmas and cheer to all.
