Georgetown Jingle

On Sunday, December 11th, the Four Seasons Hotel hosted the sixth annual Georgetown Jingle. It is a fun filled event that puts everyone in the holiday spirit and raises money for the Georgetown University Hospital Pediatric Oncology department. Each year a group of designers is selected to decorate Christmas Trees which are auctioned off at the event. The designers are paired with a child being treated at the hospital and they work together on the theme of the tree. This year trees were complied of everything from toys to wine bottles! It is a wonderful way for the design community to come together with families in the area to celebrate the season in great style while supporting an important cause. This was my fifth Jingle and by far the best!  See some great event pictures below:

I had a great time with my son and family friend in town! Georgetown Cupcake donated dozens of treats...as you can see we enjoyed!






Some of the highlights this year included the annual display of Christmas Trees and Vignettes designed by area interior designers. They are all so colorful and fun!










A new theme room included for this year's event was the "Ice Lounge". Big fur coats were provided for a trip into this one of a kind ice world. I was blown away by the chic style and combination of materials--ice and fire. 

                  



As always, restaurants from the area filled the main ball room with tables of delicious food. Everyone from favorites like The Source,  and Bourbon Steak to the hot new Paul Bakery donated to the cause. 





I am counting down the days to next year's event! Can't wait to see what designers come up with for the next round of trees.
