Enter and find a\u00a0stunning 28\u2032 tree decorated by Rick Lunsford of Blooms at The Jefferson (it\u00a0has its own illumination ceremony, by the way), sweeping staircases wrapped in garland, ribbon and bows, and hundreds of beautiful poinsettias\u00a0delicately situated about.<\/p>\n Richmonders spend time at The Jefferson for dining, intimate meetings, and after hours drinks. There aren\u2019t many other hotels that can claim the local love that this place can.<\/p>\n \u2014 Primland, Meadows of Dan\u00a0\u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n Come see the festive decorations during December at\u00a0Primland Resort\u00a0and book\u00a0the\u00a0Winter Savor Package\u00a0for a great deal on one of Virginia\u2019s most beautiful resorts.

The Great Hall Fraser fir\u00a0was more than 23\u2032 tall and 15\u2032 wide when it was cut. It now twinkles with more than 2,000 multi-colored lights. Look for its 17\u2032 sibling tree\u00a0in the Grand Ballroom, decked in satin and white lights.<\/p>\n \u2014 Boar\u2019s Head Inn, Charlottesville \u2014<\/strong><\/p>\n Boar\u2019s Head\u00a0is a AAA Four Diamond destination known for its superb Old Mill Room dining.
