I have been to many Chicago Blackhawks games but never one like their recent game on New Year's Eve. Instead of their usual United Center home, the Blackhawks hosted the St. Louis Blues at Wrigley Field.

Brookfield Zoo’s Holiday Magic
Usually, I am happy with no snow, but we were hoping for a little for Christmas. We especially wanted to have at least flurries when we went to Brookfield Zoo's Holiday Magic, Chicagoland’s longest-running lights festival. With no snow in the forecast, we decided to go before Holiday Magic ended December 31.

Christmas in Chicago
It’s always special to celebrate the holidays in my hometown of Chicago. In early December I decided to take a break during finals week at Loyola to stay downtown and thoroughly soak up the city’s festive atmosphere. I had a terrific room at the nearby Waldorf Astoria, where I was upgraded to a large suite with a fireplace and a terrace—a little too cold to enjoy the latter, but I did have a great view of the city and a million sparkling holiday lights everywhere. The hotel service and the overall ambience were outstanding, and I enjoyed recharging.
