Making the Holidays Magical

It’s time for matching Christmas family jammies and decking the halls for the holiday season! This really is my favorite time of the year and I am looking forward to celebrating. Yes, it will be different from years past, but it will still be magical for our family (especially the kids) and that brings me a lot of joy. Christmas pageants may be virtual and gingerbread house decorating might be with fewer (or no) friends. Still, we plan on having a jolly old time watching our favorite movies, decorating the tree by the fire, and of course – Peking duck on Christmas night! Traditions must live on…

 

 

With Spring ’21 shipments already arriving at the store, I’m feeling hopeful for the new year that will be here before we know it, but for now, I’m embracing a quiet December that isn’t overwhelmed with the usual hustle and bustle. And as weird as it is, I’m kind of looking forward to adding our masked picture with Santa to our Christmas book – it wouldn’t be a Coronavirus Christmas without it.

Happy Holidays friends!

  • The latest from Maura
Born and raised in Alexandria and married to a native Alexandrian as well! We love living in Old Town – just a few blocks from the store – with our three little boys and golden retriever Rumpelstiltzkin. Although my first job and real love was retail (the Lilly Pad where Mint Condition is now), I worked in Public Affairs and PR prior to buying the shop, which has really been a dream come true for me. I feel so grateful to work with our customers to find the perfect outfit for their special childhood moments. When I’m not at the store you can probably find me at an Old Town park chasing the boys or on my yoga mat.

A classic children’s boutique in Old Town, Alexandria for 40 years, we carry special occasion and play clothes for sizes newborn to 12. Located in the historic Crilley Warehouse just two blocks from the water, Monday’s Child is your go-to shop for baby gifts, baptism gowns, holiday dresses and outfits, boy’s blazers and ties, First Communion, shoes, books, toys and much more.
