[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Norwegian Christmas Tree in Union station along with the train set there are actually not crowded, indoors, and gorgeous.

There's also a lighting ceremony with musicians and such:

I’m glad this is back!  We went when my oldest was a toddler and liked it but they stopped during the pandemic and I don’t even think it was back last year.

I have found that our favorite things have been free.  I’m not a miser or anything but it just feels very Christmas-y and serendipitous kind of wandering around taking in all the free decorations and fun things.  We’ve loved the Capitol tree, Botanical Gardens, the gorgeous tree at the embassy of Canada, water skiing Santa (and there are other characters running around and giving out candy) in Alexandria, Georgetown Glow, National Harbor tree lighting, and a service at the National Cathedral. We did really enjoy the mini-Nut and will go to the Nutcracker when my youngest is old enough to sit through it.  But I don’t think I want to pay for another drive through light show when we had so much fun just doing a tacky lights tour based on a listing online.  We liked Ice at the Gaylord ok but the crowd was insane.  We’ve done the winter market in Baltimore and while I wasn’t super impressed my kids loved it.  DH and I loved the candlelight tour of Mount Vernon.  The Celtic Christmas concert at Dumbarton is nice.  [/quote]
