Chistmas in Williamsburg

[Bustedknee]

My wife and I are old and tired...and retired. We live on retiree income which is, in effect, shrinking every day.

We are thinking of getting away for a few days over Christmas. Just the two of us, lovebirds.

We don't care for parties or big tadoos and prefer to stay away from crowds. We enjoy Christmas lights, parades, zoos, country music, scenery, good food (not fancy food), and historic sites (esp Civil War). My wife loves to read and play the slots while I am off hunting.

I am looking into things to do and places to see within a full day's drive of SW Virginia.

Williamsburg is within our driving limit. I have surfed the Internet and found motels and some attractions that are advertising for the holidays but I would like to get some suggestions from real people.

Tell us about Christmas in Williamsburg.

What will we find to do in on 23, 24, 25, and 26 December?

Never been there at Christmas but there is tons to see there and in the surrounding areas such as Jamestown, Yorktown, Virginia Beach, Norfolk. More to see and do than in just a few days.

We have friends in Alaska that have been planning a Christmas in Williamsburg for a couple years. The must be something. I will have to ask them.
