This is probably where the "senior communities" started, although they are much too pricey for me. I have no family near me, and would love to be someplace where I had more interaction with other people.

These groups would really have to be more focused on local areas for people wanting to try this out. I have seen, in some large cities, where a group of seniors have bought a house together, and everyone has a room or their own but share the kitchen, bathrooms, and family rooms. The stories I have seen said that they worked out well, but I am sure that it depends on the people involved.

I hope you have Happy Holidays, even if you are alone for the holiday. I intend on having a nice day.
