Christmas concert at Wolf Trap

This event was probably one of the highlights of the holiday season for me. The weather was perfect, not too cold, but just enough briskness to make you feel festive. I can't believe I'd never heard about this before, but was happy to learn that every year the Marine Corps band puts on a FREE holiday sing-along concert, they simply ask that you bring a "Toy for Tots," jingle bells, a candle, and your singing voice!

 

Grandma, Adam and I had a great time.  We clapped, we danced, we sang.  We also learned that people go all out for this event, bringing picnics and drinks, just like any other Wolf Trap event.  We've already noted that hot chocolate and cookies are a must for next year's concert!
