Well, it's that time of year ... the beginning of the holiday season. Thanksgiving is right around the corner on November 24. Right here in Tysons Corner, there are may ways to celebrate.
Thanksgiving is a holiday that is encased in family tradition. It is a time to reflect on all that we have to be thankful for.
Thanksgiving is also a lot of work! First, there is all of the cooking ... sometimes a couple days worth of cooking.
Even for those who really enjoy cooking, does anyone really enjoy cleaning up that kitchen?
So, this year why not give the cooks and cleaner-uppers a real treat...go out for dinner. Say thank you to all of those who have made past Thanksgivings such a special holiday, by treating them to a Thanksgiving feast at one of Virginia's local restaurants.
Clyde's Restaurant in Tysons Corner is offering a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all of the trimmings. This dinner has all of your favorites: turkey with sausage-sage stuffing and gravy, sweet potatoes and whipped potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce and your choice of pumpkin, apple or pecan pie. It's $25.95 for adults and $15.95 for a child's portion.

Thanksgiving wouldn't be complete without a parade. Although it is actually a holiday parade held on Friday November 25, Reston will be hosting its 21st annual Holiday parade at the Reston Town Center. The parade starts at 11:00 a.m. rain or shine and will be an hour long. This year's theme is Storybook Magic. There will be floats, Macy's-style balloons, musicians, dancers, and characters from your favorite stories from classical to modern.
After the parade, Santa and Mrs. Clause will be available for pictures until 4:30 p.m. and back at 6:00 to light the Christmas tree. The tree lighting is accompanied by a sing-a-long of traditional Christmas songs.
