In December, the First Lady and Governor host receptions as a way to
celebrate, honor, and thank the many Virginians and Virginia organizations
serving their communities. Just this week, the 2023 Spirit of Virginia Award
recipients and members of the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, the
James House, and Fear 2 Freedom gathered to be recognized. One tree in the
Executive Mansion is adorned with ornaments from nonprofits with a two-fold
purpose of celebrating the works of goodwill happening throughout the
Commonwealth and serving as a reminder of the Virginians in need this holiday
season.

Created by Executive Mansion Pastry Chef Scott Henderlite, this year’s
gingerbread house is a model of the Governor’s Palace in Williamsburg. The
Governor’s Palace was the official residence of the royal governors of the
Colony of Virginia and was also home to two of Virginia’s post-colonial
governors, Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson. Funded by the House of
Burgesses, the Palace was built from 1706 onward. In a #homehistory defining
move, the capitol was relocated to Richmond in 1780, and the Governor’s
residence moved with it, now nestled in Capitol Square, providing a home to
Virginia’s governors and first families since 1813.
