I can't think of another neighborhood in Washington that does the holidays better than Old Town Alexandria.

The city's historic homes and cobble-stoned streets all adorned in lights and bows simply fills me with that warm fuzzy feeling you get from sipping hot cider as a horse-drawn carriage rolls by.
