Hello there, shoppers! It’s Monday. Already looking forward to the weekend? Well, here’s a little something to get you even more anxious for it: Old Town Alexandria’s Christmas in July is back!
This Saturday and Sunday, July 15-17, The Christmas Attic and the Union Street shops will be bringing a bit of holiday season magic to the sweltering days of summer. Expect Santa & Mrs. Claus to be decked out like Jimmy Buffett and all sorts of fun activities for the whole family to enjoy.
Just a few of the many attractions planned:
-Photos with Summer Santa & Mrs. Claus
-Holiday Trunk Shows
-Tips on Making Holiday Decorating Green
-Christmas Cocktail Party
-Pooch Pictures
-Cookie Decorating
-Paint Your Own Nutcracker
-Ornament Making
For the full schedule, visit the Christmas Attic’s website.
Yet one more reason you’ll want to attend: By joining in the fun, you’ll be helping to make some very sick children smile. A portion of sales proceeds from the weekend will support Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Happy shopping!
