Xmassy Weekend!!!

This past weekend was great and very Christmassy.






On Friday, Chris and I took the Xmas CTA, which is one of the normal “L” trains, completely decorated with LOTS of lights, elf’s giving candy canes in the wagons and a real Santa in between the trains. Afterwards we went to Grand Park to see the Christmas carolers singing Latin songs. Then we saw the lights on Michigan Avenue. It was very nice, but very cold.


On Saturday, we saw 2 great plays; Rudolf the red nose reindeer and A Charlie Brown Christmas. Both of them were awesome!!



We also bought and decorated Chris’s Xmas tree. That was FUN too and the first present under his tree is for me!!! J


On Sunday, we saw the “real” Charlie Brown movie, which is great and made me appreciate even more the play of the night before. At night we got together with Alex, Leila and Stephan at Navy Pier and saw all the lights and Christmas activities. We ended the day drinking Glühwein at the Christkindlmarket's, which is a German Christmas market.








The weekend was really nice and I enjoyed it a lot!!

My favorite part of the XMAS weekend was definitely was the XMAS “L”. The Grant Park XMAS carol’s sing-a-long could have been cool (especially if you got to sing the ‘bad parts’ of the “Rudolf the Red-nose Reindeer” song) but even with my overcoat, winter jacket, sweater, long sleeve shirt and long underwear I was still freezing !

Thanks for making my holiday even more special
