Christmas Destinations

For many of us, our Christmas traditions are abbreviated this year. One of my usual trips is to Williamsburg, Virginia, to walk down Duke of Gloucester Street and admire the decorations, eat at a wonderful tavern, and do some shopping. This year I will be staying home, but I wanted to share with you one of my absolutely favorite places to go: Seasons of Williamsburg.

Seasons of Williamsburg has already decked the halls for the holidays. We have featured this exquisite shop in many of our magazines through the years, and going there has been a part of my celebration. If you are in the area, or close enough for a day trip, put on your masks and go there. I can’t describe the overwhelming beauty that lies within these walls. Not only is it an unbelievable boutique, but the floral arrangements and wreaths made of live materials will delight you.

Each year the offerings are completely different than the previous year. The trees are stunning and have unique ornaments and trims. I love the silver tree. It has blue-and-white ornaments, and someone I know (me), went nuts over it.

Kendall Kirby has become a cherished friend over the years, and when he sent me a sneak preview, I couldn’t believe it. Thank you for making our world beautiful every year. Christmas is magical at Seasons.
