GEORGETOWN JINGLE

The Four Seasons Hotel (2800 Pennsylvania Ave. NW) is home to some of the most unique Christmas trees and vignettes in the District, thanks to the creative input of Washington's interior design community. But while decorating a Christmas tree is fun, it's for a cause that everyone can rally behind. Sunday is the seventh annual Georgetown Jingle, which benefits MedStar Georgetown University Hospital's various children's oncology programs.

This year, the benefit will be divided into two parts. During the first part, from 1 to 4 p.m., children and their parents can decorate holiday treats and do craft projects. During the second part, which starts at 7 p.m., guests will get to see Pamela Stanley perform and sample delicious food and libations.

For more information about tickets, the trees and donations, go to georgetownjingle.com.

HOLIDAY FILMS

This time of year, everyone loves to cozy up with some egg nog and watch one of many holiday movies. Well, now, you can watch a bunch of them in one day at one place.

Arlington Cinema N Drafthouse (2903 Columbia Pike, Arlington) is playing host to a Christmas movie festival on Sunday. Beginning at noon, the 2012 Christmas Movie Festival will feature screenings of eight holiday movies, beginning with the animated version of "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" and ending with "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation." Other highlights include "Scrooged" and "Elf."

Tickets cost $8, and patrons and come and go as they please throughout the day. Full food service will be available as well.
