Although I’ve been privy to experience Chicago during the holidays for many years now, driving and strolling through the city during this time of year still brings me a certain level of excitement. Other fun activities to consider when you’re in town are the ZooLights at Lincoln Park Zoo, ice skating in Millennium Park, the Kwanzaa Market at Africa International House, and Light Up the Lake at Navy Pier. Wherever you’re spending your holiday this year I hope it’s filled with peace, love, and joy. You don’t have to live in a big city to feel festive, especially when you’re surrounded by family and friends. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
