What’s your favorite NoVA holiday tradition?
“Every holiday season I love to go out for a totally decadent afternoon tea with my mom and sister. It’s our gift to each other (and ourselves!). There’s no more perfect place than the Ritz-Carlton at Tysons Corner: The delicate sandwiches and precious confections are almost too pretty to eat, the setting is gorgeous, oh, and the tea is good too (try the caramel blend!). We spend hours chatting, laughing, catching up, and that’s, of course, the best treat of all. Well … that and the fact that they also serve Champagne!”
