Publisher's Synopsis
Drawing on 18th-century traditions, Colonial Williamsburg has become famous for its celebrations of the Christmas season. In Colonial Williamsburg's Historic Area - and the pages of this book - you'll find wreaths and roping crafted from greenery, fruit, and other natural materials; boards groaning under the weight of holiday fare; cressets warming the streets and candles flickering in the windows of the town's homes and taverns; fireworks lighting up such iconic buildings as the Capitol and the Governor's Palace. In colonial times and today, Christmas in Williamsburg is not a day but a season.
