Enjoying the special sounds of the Christmas season in The Villages

When it comes to Christmas performances, it’s been quite the season here in The Villages.

Over the past month, there’s been a variety of shows and performances that were guaranteed to satisfy just about anybody’s cup of tea. Popular Christmas songs were performed in a variety of ways. And many performers put their own spins on the holiday classics.

But there was one common thread throughout these shows – Villagers enjoyed some top-notch entertainment. And had a great time doing so!

So as you enjoy your Christmas morning cup of coffee, here’s a look back at the holiday season with Rocky and the Rollers, Jon “Bowzer” Bauman and the Stingrays, the cast of “Nuncrackers,” Mary Jo Vitale, Grandma and Alex Santoriello, The Villages Pops Chorus, and Violet Ray performing a special dance to Dave Olsen’s version of “Silent Night.”
