NY Post's Page Six doyenne Cindy Adams does Christmas in Colonial Williamsburg.
In an era of gents in knee breeches and powdered wigs (men shaved their heads as was the fashion to adorn fancy headpieces of braided ponytail with bowed curl to the side - the swankier the ringlet the greater their female adoration) and ladies in frill bonnets, white aprons, ample cleavage and ankle skirts are to be found in America's premier living history museum.
The menu - "Josiah's Cook's soupe", fowl and veggie "Burnnswick stew" and "sallet" of cucumbers, greens, tomatoes, carrots.
Huge Dutch ovens stand mid-room with drapes around the bed to retain warmth ... are minor highlights of stepping back in time to 17th century Virginia.
The visit of a lifetime. The birth of a nation.
