Photo by Robert Devaney.In the last few days, the Christmas season has picked up the pace with appearances by Santa Claus at Rose Park and in the lobbies of the Four Seasons and the Ritz-Carlton hotels — rowing on the Potomac with Mrs. Claus and the reindeer — to name a few instances.
Alive with people and traffic and illuminated by the light-art installations of “Glow,” Georgetown is easily one of the most charming places during Christmastime for walking, shopping and dining.
