Every year at Christmas, there are tours of Mt. Vernon by candlelight and with a focus on events that took place there at Christmas. The actors in the various rooms telling their stories were great and gave a good glimpse into life back then.
I learned some things I didn't know. The 12 days of Christmas originally started with Christmas day and ended on January 6, the day of Epiphany. I liked the story at the end with the person realizing that George Washington gave him his desk because that is where GW had written him a letter (one of his last letters) where GW asked him to do something to help GW serve the country. The message of the end of the story was to remember your friends and family.
I liked the tour and being there with Mark and Julie and Mom and Dad. It was a really nice evening.
