Take In A Wonderful Holiday Festival In Virginia

The Virginia state license plates even exclaim it “Virginia is for lovers.” With some 1900 Virginia romantic inns and getaways to select from, you and your better half may soon find out the truth of it whenever you come to Old Dominion for your honeymoon or other romantic rendezvous.

The autumn months are an exceptionally good time to reserve cabin rentals or stays at any one of the quaint Virginia romantic getaways scattered over the state. One reason is the fall colors. As part of this nation’s Eastern Woodland biome, Virginia is covered in deciduous hardwood forests which change into glorious technicolor just about mid-September, and there is almost nothing more romantic than peering out at the autumn leaves through the window of a lovely Virginia country inn.

Ofcourse the another reason is that fall will be the “off-season;” no matter which of Virginia’s five chief geographic areas you happen to be traveling to, you’re sure to uncover great discounts on getaway rentals of all kinds.

Finally, there’s a overabundance of fall festivals throughout the area, ranging from celebrations for the region’s wine and cuisine to festivals of the arts and concerts as well as literary and historical commemorations. By way of example, did you know that American gothic author Edgar Allen Poe was a native son of Virginia? As one might imagine, October is “Poe Month” in Virginia. Just before Halloween, the Edgar Allen Poe Museum in Richmond hosts their annual “Unhappy Hour,” a costume party which has a theme centered around one of Poe’s short tales (2010 was Fall Of The House of Usher). On Halloween evening, take a cemetery excursion at historic St. John’s Church nearby, where Poe’s mother is buried.

If October belongs to Virginia’s best-known literary author, November is given over to the state’s wineries as the holidays loom. All of Virginia’s five foremost regions from Chesapeake Bay to the Blue Ridge have world-class wineries, and you will find wine-tasting events every weekend in November the majority of which feature excellent food and live music in combination with local vintages.

Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, December is one Festival of Lights after another and nowhere is this more authentic than romantic Virginia since coastal communities from Richmond to Hampton Roads throw up displays that would humble the Griswolds. The wonderful activities begins on the weekend before Thanksgiving with Hampton’s Coliseum Central Holiday Parade in the south and Norfolk’s Grand Illumination Parade further north. The party goes on for a full six weeks inside the capitol city of Richmond with the GardenFest of Lights that starts at the end of November and goes on all the way to the second week of January. Usually in the second week of December, you’ll be able to have a taste of Christmas Victorian-style at the historic Maymont Mansion. The $25 per person includes a moonlit outing from a horse-drawn carriage along a brightly-lit avenue to the Civil War-era home of a infamous Confederate officer along with a splendid tour of the mansion, carol singing and food and drink. This romantic Christmas event is very well-liked, therefore make certain to put your name down well ahead of time.

When Angels Sing: A Christmas Story $14.95 “Michael was eight years old on the Christmas Day he lost his brother David. The day had started out well-Michael and David opened their presents and, much to their delight, they both received ice skates from Santa. With great excitement they set out to the pond behind their grandparents’ house in New Mexico to try them out. But the pond wasn’t safe, and David never made it out from its icy cold depths. For Michael, the meaning of Christmas changed forever that day.> Thirty years later Michael is the neighborhood Grinch. “To me the only wonder of Christmas is not why that tragedy marked me so,” Michael says, “but how the rest of my family can seem so completely unscathed.” He scowls at his neighbors’ fervent holiday traditions and at his own children, who want nothing more than to string Christmas lights through their front yard. But when another holiday disaster> strikes and his own cherished young son loses his spirit to live, Michael searches deep within himself to root out the anger, the fear, and the pain of the past. Can he bear to remember exactly what happened that Christmas day? And will he make peace with this past for the sake of his own children?> This is a tale of rekindled spirit, mended hearts, and found voices.”
