FareFinder: Traditional Holiday in Williamsburg

FareFinder is getting into the holiday spirit lately, so decided to drop some knowledge about this little weekend trip that's good for the post-Turkey, pre-Santa time.

For those East Coasters who want a quick getaway (or if you want to get your Historical Americana on), the folks at Colonial Williamsburg are offering a holiday package that fits the bill. Two nights at one of the CW's Resort Collection properties, lunch at a primo CW tavern, tickets to the holiday walking tour and length of stay passes to all the CW attractions starting at $81 per person, per night.

For those who have never been to Williamsburg, it's truly a treat, especially during the holiday season. They've got plenty going on, from historic homes decorated to the nines, special dining events and kid-friendly activities, it's a hidden gem.

The package prices jump depending on the hotel you choose (the value Governor's Inn is the $81 low-end, while the five-star Williamsburg Inn is $291), but the Williamsburg Lodge selection at $147 is the FareFinder choice.

The Ellis Hotel in Atlanta Is Getting All 'Rowr' This Holiday Season

The holidays are a time of celebration. A time for caring and giving. A joyous occasion to celebrate various religious beliefs with your family. And they are also the time of Santa Clause. He brings presents to people, based on various levels of "naughty" and "nice".

But this year, thanks to a pretty foxy little Christmas package from the Ellis Hotel in Atlanta, you can totally circumvent your North Pole pal and pick your own classification.

The Naughty or Nice package covers accommodations in a king room and late checkout at 2 p.m.

In addition, if booking the Naughty plan (must request Naughty), the rate covers a bottle of champagne upon arrival, gingerbread massage oil and a $25 gift card to Victoria's Secret.

The Nice plan (must request Nice) covers hot cocoa and cookies upon arrival, a holiday music CD and a Hallmark holiday ornament.

Yes. It is in fact best called "aggressive". After all, nothing says overtly romantic quite like a bottle of "gingerbread massage oil" now does it? Personally, I'd say that the "Nice" package seems kind of, well, lame. Unless you're bringing like a platonic friend, which is waaaaay beyond awkward anyway.
