We sentimentalize the holidays even as we re-gift the fruitcake, buy toys on Christmas Eve and chortle (over eggnog) about Uncle Harry’s latest girlfriend. To truly pay homage to Virginia’s seasonal traditions, we’d have to do some carousing and belsnickeling, as folks did long ago. Oh, t’was a very merry time.
