Drawing on eighteenth-century traditions, Colonial Williamsburg has become famous for its celebrations of the Christmas season. In Colonial Williamsburg's Historic Area--and in the pages of this lavishly illustrated book--you'll find wreaths and roping crafted from greenery, fruit, and other natural materials; boards groaning under the weight of holiday fare; cressets warming the streets and candles flickering in the windows of the town's homes and taverns; fireworks lighting up such iconic buildings as the Capitol and the Governor's Palace. In colonial times and today, Christmas in Williamsburg not a day but a season--and one this book lets you experience throughout the year.","brand":"Globe Pequot Press","offers":[{"title":"Board Book","offer_id":45411130638487,"sku":"9781493044511","price":2891.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781493044511.webp?v=1767917645","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/colonial-williamsburg-christmas-celebrating-classic-traditions-and-the-spirit-of-the-holiday-9781493044511","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
