    The first thing you will notice is the lights are quickly put up right before Thanksgiving. Shop windows will start to have decorations go up and then Christmas trees start appearing everywhere. As night falls the town is lit up with Christmas Lights and window displays to remind us its time to shop for christmas.

    I just become a kid again and start making my list of all the things to attend so maybe I will get a chance to see Santa! Because as we all know, he is the show! Who would of thought that at this age we get as excited about seeing Santa in a red suite as children. But with Santa comes so many  other things, and in Old Town Alexandria they make sure to provided you with the old world charm of Christmas.

    I have to admit my all time favorite thing is still a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallow and whip cream on top. That makes everything seem a little more perfect for Christmas. My go to on my trials around town for the Christmas festivities is none other than Starbucks!
