Filled with festive ideas inspired by beloved carols, this November/December issue of Victoria visits Colonial Williamsburg and a cozy cabin honoring Tasha Tudor’s Christmas traditions, shares handmade gift ideas and nature-inspired decorating, opens the doors to Writer-in-Residence Patti Callahan Henry’s Yuletide home, and offers a trove of recipes for warming meals and desserts.
Greensleeves
In a captivating departure from modern life, Colonial Williamsburg transports visitors to the nation’s early days. At Christmastime, the living history village takes on an especially enchanting air, as period-inspired décor, time-honored traditions, and festive events bring the season to life.
Here We Come A-Caroling
Encourage harmony among kith and kin. Invite a band of merrymakers to warm up their vocal cords before stepping into the brisk evening air to serenade neighbors with favorite holiday tunes.
Oh Come all Ye Faithful
Reminiscent of the ebullient Yuletide traditions observed by beloved children’s book author and illustrator Tasha Tudor, we’ve retreated to a snug little sanctuary far from the crowds for an old-fashioned celebration rooted in homespun pleasures.
I’ll Be Home For Christmas
Our Writer-in-Residence has shared her prose with us throughout the seasons. Now, step inside Patti Callahan Henry’s Alabama home for the holidays. Here, garlands drape gracefully over a lifetime of collected books and cherished heirlooms.
