December 7, 2025: The Colonial Glow

7 years and counting.

The 7th annual Genie Jar Marketing Christmas party. What a night here in Colonial Williamsburg, with all the classic holiday sparkle.

To kick off the festivities, Jess and I (alongside old friends Tom and Wendy) strolled through the Williamsburg Christmas Market. Think Hallmark movie vibes, with vendors offering roasted nuts and handmade ornaments.

Then we snatched a curbside spot to watch the parade. Marching bands, horses in bells, kids waving from floats. The whole heartwarming show.

Afterward, we walked to the Williamsburg Inn for some fun snacks under fancy chandeliers. Then we made our way to King’s Arms Tavern for a candlelight dinner, where the walls whisper stories from the 1700s.

The best nights come from planning experiences, not just events. Something magical happens when you take time to slow down.

Looking forward to year 8.
