December has arrived, the holidays are upon us and Washington is celebrating in style!The Washington Post released its holiday guide last week and it is chock full of yuletide spirit. For those musicians out there, there are a ton of musical events to check out. On December 17st at 8:00 p.m. the Kennedy Center will host the annual Messiah Sing-A-Long. Also, don’t miss the Rockapella Holiday event on December 8th at George Mason University. The concert will feature a five-man a capella group signing jazz, rock and classic versions of your holiday favorites. Finally, check out the All-Star Christmas Day Jazz Jam at the Kennedy Center. Local jazz musicians will be jamming and jazzing up your holiday!
Other great events are also happening in the D.C. area. On December 5th, swing by Pentagon Row for free horse and carriage rides, photos with Santa, carolers, and the ice skating rink! Lastly, if you want something unique to give your friends for the holidays this year, stop by the Downtown Holiday Market running from the 7th until the 23rd. Toys, ornaments and other crafts can be found outside the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Portrait Gallery’s F Street entrance.
So take a break from studying for your finals and join in the holiday cheer!
