DC this Weekend
Any suggestions for seeing special Christmas sights or events for this Saturday? Will be staying at the Hay Adams. Any Christmas tours, etc. going only? Would enjoy something with a holiday flair to it on Saturday and dinner at a nice restaurant on Saturday night. We won't have a car.
