We're very happy to announce the winner of the complimentary tickets to the Scottish Christmas Walk Weekend's annual Holiday Homes Tour. Congratulations to Kristin Frykman, who we hope to see on the tour.
They don't say "it's the most wonderful time of the year" for nothing.
In our home and in Old Town Alexandria in general, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. A nip is in the air, the lights are all hung in the trees along King Street, and the storefronts are all decked out in their holiday finest.
But most of all, the town is all abuzz over the annual Scottish Christmas Walk events this coming weekend. An annual tradition in Old Town for many years, the Scottish Christmas Walk Weekend is a series of events organized by the Campagna Center that celebrated Alexandria's Scottish heritage and the Christmas season.
In addition to the annual parade...
...the Scotch Tasting at the Masonic Temple...
...the Christmas marketplace, and other events, one of the major highlights of the weekend is the Holiday Tour of Homes on Saturday morning and afternoon. It's an unique opportunity to tour some of the beautiful private residences of Old Town decorated for the holidays. This event is particularly near and dear to our heart as it helped us fall in love with Old Town many years ago, and we were honored to lend our home to the tour in 2012. I don't think our home has looked as good since.
This year's Holiday Designer Tour of Homes boasts a stunning lineup, including the following residences:
415 Prince Street
519 South Lee Street
400 South Lee
501 Prince Street
512 Duke Street
