I would recommend staying at Colonies at Williamsburg. It is a lovely property. We stayed there in 2019. A warning though! Please do not get snagged by the Concierge. She or he will offer you tickets to Old Williamsburg for just 90 minutes of your time. We fell for it. We were lied to by our sales agent Jackie, convinced to buy and now we our out $45K, all of our savings. My husband is a 100% service connected Vietnam Vet. I have been contacting the CEO's of VV for months with no response. Enjoy the property but go through Airbnb or some other rental and DO NOT BUY!!
I read they didn't really celebrate Christmas at all -except in church - because they felt that celebrating Christmas was a very "Catholic" thing to do and there wasn't anything they hated more than Catholics back then.
Catholics certainly celebrated Christmas back in the eighteenth-century. The high-Anglicans were equally celebrant. Decorations that appear in Williamsburg during the holiday nowadays are not what one would see in 1765. Those who decorated seemed to have done so much more sparsely.
