Although I have lived in the Chicago area for most of my life, I haven’t taken advantage of all the festivities offered around the holiday season either because I wasn’t old enough, it was too cold or my parents weren’t interested.
In the past couple of years, I have forced myself to brave the Chicago winters to join some friends in Chicago holiday traditions, such as enjoying a cocktail in Marshall Fields’ Walnut room (before it was bought by Macys) and shuffling through the German Christkindl Market in Daley Plaza.
However, there are still many holiday events in Chicago that I have yet to experience and traditions that I want to continue! I plan to check off every item on the top 10 list below and will write a blog post about each experience to get in the Christmas spirit!
