You can always take a ferry in from Georgetown or Old Town Alexandria, or, better yet, Uber. If you do decide to drive, most restaurants will validate your parking tickets.

I think this will enhance your appreciation of the season.<\/p>\n<p>The decorated Christmas tree tradition originated in Germany. In the 16th century, devout Christians decorated trees in their homes. If wood was scarce, they constructed pyramids of scrap wood and decorated them with evergreens and candles. People believe that Martin Luther, the 16th-century Protestant reformer, first added lighted candles to a tree. By the 1890s, ornaments were arriving from Germany and Christmas tree popularity was on the rise in America. Europeans prefers small four-foot trees, while Americans like their Christmas trees almost touching the ceiling. Did you know that Christmas trees are grown in all 50 states including Hawaii and Alaska?
