Christmas Time in Chicago!

Some favorite Christmas memories:

Going ice skating at Navy Pier (better than Skate on State and Millenium Park)
Chocolate mousse "boots" from Fox and Obel
Midnight mass
Playing the 7 / 11 game on Christmas Eve
Christmas windows at Marshall Fields
Going shopping for Frango mints for my dad's secretary
Christkindl Market
Polish food
Going out when it is waaaay too cold and snowy when there is no one else outside
Christmas parties at Grandma and Grandpa's house
My grandma's Christmas tree with the winter village underneath (complete with fake snow and mechanical ice staters)
Silent Night
The Beach Boys Christmas Album ("Lil' Saint Nick" in particular)
Oplatki wafers and making wishes for the New Year
