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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1493044516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781493044511\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Globe Pequot Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Board Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.13h x 8.26w x 0.68d","brand":"The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44051199623423,"sku":"9781493044511","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Board Book","offer_id":45463826825471,"sku":"9781493044511","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2988e7a-5885-4300-8170-6cb6055e5390.jpg?v=1685011678","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/colonial-williamsburg-christmas-the-colonial-williamsburg-foundation-9781493044511","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
