RWW Blog Hop If you hopped over from the lovely and talented Leslie Hachtel's blog, welcome! If you missed her, be sure to click here to read hers! She's always entertaining, informative, and artistic! This week's prompt is "The holiday season is upon us! What do you do to get into the holiday spirit?" and it's mine. I'm known to some as being a bit "bah humbug" around the holidays. It's not that I don't like Christmas per se, it's the commercialism of it all. The buying, the wrapping, and the strain of all the holiday must-have-to-do's. Honestly, I just get stressed out which doesn't give me the jollies. What I look forward to is stepping into the past in Colonial Williamsburg. Every year the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation creates special holiday events. One year my husband and I went to the Groaning Board dining experience which included servers and entertainers in period garb. The womenfolk of my family went to Mrs. Campbell's Holiday Tea at Campbell's Tavern. This year, I think we'll do "A Raleigh Christmas Party" and stroll Duke of Gloucester Street to look at the authentic decorations. And maybe, I'll book us a carriage ride! If you'll be visiting Virginia in December, check out the Colonial Williamsburg Program Guide. What do you do to get in the holiday spirit? Leave your answer in the comments below!
Time to visit with Jenna Da Sie, whose blog posts I love to read and you will too!
