GEORGETOWN -- Both bells and belles were happily jingling on Saturday night, during The Capital Club's signature annual holiday benefit.



Festively dubbed 'Santa Soiree', the formal affair once again took over the first two floors of Georgetown's historic City Tavern Club this year, where the popular party has made its home for most of the past decade.



Gentleman and ladies alike dressed in creative 'elvish black tie ' duds, which was liberally interpreted to mean everything from Santa scarves to plaid ties to mistletoe hats to penguin studs to tartan cummerbunds (and everything in between).



Selling out for a 23rd year in a row, Santa Soiree is one of the most looked forward to holiday celebrations of Washington's affluent and philanthropically-minded twenty and thirty-somethings.



The Winn Brothers Band, a D.C. cover band staple, served as the evening's live entertainment and delivered an enthusiastic set that had everyone packing the dance floor long past midnight.



A plethora of colorful decorations, which adorned the venue's walls, stairwells, and patio, further set the festive mood. And a series of open bars only further fueled an already jubilant crowd.



Like all of The Capital Club's events, a portion of the night's proceeds were earmarked for a series of both local and national charity and community causes.



The social organization boasts a rich D.C. history, with the group founded more than 30 years ago. Membership is strictly limited to only 100 members and an invitation to join is a coveted badge of honor among D.C.'s upper crust.



Naughty or nice, Santa Soiree attendees always leave more than jolly.
