[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've enjoyed:
- Botanical Gardens (try to go on a warmer day if possible, and going later in the day is usually less crowded). If you do that, it's an easy walk over to the Christmas Tree in front of the Capitol. Warning though that this tends to be really crowded. 
- Christmas services at the National Cathedral. You need tickets and they go on sale on 11/18. Tickets are a nominal fee (like $6 or something). There are two evening ones that are really beautiful, and then a daytime one that's geared for younger kids (kids are encouraged to dress up as angles or shepherds, I think there are live animals, and there are more popular songs as opposed to more hymns). 
- Agree with others that the White House Christmas Tree is lame, but each state also does a tree and that's sort of fun walking around finding your state tree. Because it's such a large space, it's not quite as crowded as other things. Good to pair with Old Ebbit, if that's on your list. 
- Sometimes area movie theaters show Christmas movies, like Elf or Home Alone. I think the one at Montgomery Mall used to. [/quote]

One other note. The Gaylord has a bunch of things, including Ice, which can be fun. But everything is priced separately and really expensive. We did it a couple of times but stopped because it seemed overpriced for what it is. [/quote]

We go to National Harbor every year and usually just do the free stuff (and buy hot chocolate/treats.) it’s really nice for just walking around. We did do ICE last year-but only buy tickets when they’re running a sale (which they do on and off between now and Christmas.) not worth full price. [/quote]
