You’re probably sick of hearing this, but: Alexandria is a great place to spend the holidays.

Yet another online list ranked Alexandria at the top of “23 US Cities That Go All Out for Christmas,” this one from Condé Nast Traveler.

According to the article:

Located about 20 minutes south of Washington, DC, Alexandria is a picture-perfect place to spend the holiday season. The Old Town’s row houses and centuries-old brick streets look even more charming when adorned with snow and Christmas wreaths, and you can expect a ton of seasonal activities.

It isn’t the first, or even second, time Alexandria’s been noted in publications as a particularly great holiday destination.

Old Town is getting a little more festive on Friday with a ‘Holiday Trolley‘ while a mailbox in Warwick Village is also delivering letters to Santa.
