Happy Holidays! I’ve always thought Tysons was made for the holidays. Nowhere else, except perhaps New York City does a “city” have so many holiday decorations, shopping and holiday dining adventures and the “magic” we have. And I imagine this year will be better than ever.
With the addition of so many new venues, restaurants and shops offering new products and services, the excitement is building already. Our editors and friends have put together an event calendar, a guide for: where to find those traditional ethnic treats, catering and event spaces for your holiday celebrations, gifts guides and more. We hope you enjoy and hope you take note of some of the holiday celebrations our team has found for your holiday enjoyment this season.

Looking to purchase some jewelry this year? According to our friend Lee Nguonly, the trend in fine jewelry is toward simplicity. The Nguonly family has been in the jewelry business for generations and has won top awards for quality and value in our area. In the heart of Vienna—say ‘hi’ to Lee.
Once again this year, we urge you to support our area’s independent merchants and service providers. Competition has never been tougher than it is today, and they are counting on the season to bring them into the black. Please remember them.
On behalf of all of us at VivaTysons, please accept our warmest wishes for safe, wonderful holiday—we’ll see you next year.
