Life has been a whirlwind! Phew! My family was with us for five days.  They live in Berkeley California. My Midwest son married a California girl and their sons, Thom and Freddie are 8 and 5 respectively. Of course two golf carts were necessary to travel hither and yon around The Villages.

Feeding horses and birds and fish. Swimming. Dancing-sort of-at The Square!  Listening to a story (Polar Express) at Barnes and Noble. This included hot chocolate and cookies. Sweet!
Long trek down to the Village of Hadley to see the street of sound and lights! The Holiday Parade at the Polo Fields. I missed this event as it was held during the Writers' Expo. We wrapped up the visit with The Grinch followed by Flippers' pizza. Today they have flown home to re-enter Pacific time.
The jet lag was not easy for them.

How about you? Does your family have traditions that involve visits around the holidays? Do you remember traditions from your own childhood?  I would love to hear from my readers. Do share!
And have a blessed week. Be kind and be careful.  The Grinch is alive and well.
