Holiday time!!!!

 

And everything is in full swing!

I love the holidays in the city. Lights on the trees lining the street, wreaths and garlands popping up. Places like Macy's go all out with their decorations. Horns lining the building, animated window displays and decorations through out the inside, including this big beautiful tree that they do every year. Its slightly different every year too.

 

We always try to stop in at least once. To see what it all looks like, and to swing through their Christmas area of ornaments.

To view the tree you either have to eat in the restaurant, or go up one floor to where they sell all the furniture. I am pretty sure they get more foot traffic up there to see the tree compared to the whole rest of the year.

If you look closely in that picture they have "princesses" walking around. They look more like they are going to prom, but I'm sure the kids eating in that restaurant love it.

So far its the only holiday thing we have done, but we have a list of things we always try to check out.

The Christkindlmarket - a German inspired outdoor holiday market. The have the best cinnamon sugar nuts. Zoo Lights at the Lincoln Park Zoo is a must as well. Caroling at the Bean. And we have never fit it in in December, but Ice Skating in the park.

We did get our tree up though and there are already presents under it for someone....
