My sister came downtown to see the Mayor of Chicago lights the city's Christmas tree. I took this opportunity to go with her and snapped some pictures. There was a firework show on top of the City Hall immediately after the tree was lit. It was quite spectacular.
The annual Christmas Market at Daley Plaza has the same feel as I remembered from a trip to Germany years ago. The sound, the smell of food in the air, and the holiday spirit. There are scores of Christmas ornament vendors coming from Germany to sell all kinds of ornaments to dress up your Christmas tree nicely, while the food vendors sell sausages bratwursts (thanks Chris) on the rolls, pancakes, strudels, and pretzels as you are taking a break from your Christmas shopping...
