Mount Vernon Estate in Virginia Glows for Christmas

Deborah Block

   Many events for the Christmas holidays in the United States were
   canceled or held virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic.

   But at Mount Vernon in Alexandria, Virginia, the Christmas spirit is
   being kept alive through an event called Winter Glow, when the large
   estate is illuminated at night during the season.

   "We have music, the trees are lit up in different colors, and moving
   snowflakes are being projected onto the mansion," said Melanie Adams,
   an interpreter supervisor at Mount Vernon.
