Christmastime in Boston is truly magical! I’ve probably said something similar about every season here in New England, but when the wreaths and garland go up and the trees are lit, Boston is something straight out of a storybook.
Besides the holiday parties with friends and family or cozying up at home near the tree, I have a few holiday traditions that to me are quintessentially Boston Christmas. First, MJD and I love going to see the Boston Pops. Their show is such an amazing way to get in the holiday spirit with Christmas music played by the Boston Symphony. Boston is also home to so many great boutiques and local shops. I make it a tradition to go to the Beacon Hill Holiday Stroll each December to shop many of them in arguably the best decorated neighborhood. The stroll is this Thursday, December 9th and I really cannot wait!
My red skirt is a perfect Christmas outfit staple and can be worn no matter the occasion during the holiday season. It was fun to dress it up with an off-the-shoulder top and statement earrings, but I’m also planning to wear it with this chunky knit sweater in off white. Please forgive me if you see me wearing it on repeat 🙂
What are some of your favorite holiday traditions in your city?
xoxo, Jenna

Thanks Amanda– you are so sweet! xoxo!
Love the skirt! Since we always travel on Christmas, we usually do a downtown Christmassy date the weekend before, with cocktails at the Taj, visit to the Old South Church, checking out decorations, etc.

That sounds like the BEST date ever, Meghan!! So fun! 🙂
