Xmas in the City








We made our annual visit to the Loop on Wednesday 12/15.



Did all of our usual stuff:



Checked out the windows at Macy's (formerly Marshall Fields)--this year's theme was "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus."



Went into Macy's to do a little fill-in shopping.



Went up the escalator chain (about eight floors) to see the giant tree in the Walnut Room restaurant.



Had lunch at Heaven on Seven--Lori had an andouille poor boy and a bloody mary, while I had the fried oyster salad with honey mustard dressing.



Went to the German village and bought a few new glass ornaments for the tree.



While there, we watched a live angel "sculpture."



Videos are below.



Had a cup of mulled wine--gleuwein the Germans call it, because it makes you glow, at least metaphorically.
