There are wonderful things to do in Washington DC at Christmas Time. But one of my favorites, is going to brunch at Old Ebbitt Grill and seeing Santa at the National Christmas Tree. I have been visiting the National Christmas tree since I was 12. I have only missed it a couple of times when I was in the Navy. Now, my son gets to visit every year. They have the best Santa. He has a real beard, and is super nice. The Christmas Elf Workshop is just darling, the National Park Service does a fantastic job.
This year we are expanding the tradition to include my son's grandparents and our good friends who always come are bringing their sister and her family. I can't wait! I pray it is just as nice as last year.
I am also going to dress us up a little bit. Here are the outfits of planned for the family...
It probably seems ridiculous to plan outfits, but I find it a real stress reliever to have at least an idea of what I need clean and ready, so we are not all running around like chickens 10 minutes after we are supposed to be at the restaurant...
That's the plan. I hope whatever your Saturday plans are they are wonderful. As always, much love, many blessings, and Merry Christmas!
