THIS WEEKEND IN CHICAGO – THE HOLIDAYS ARE STILL WITH US!
SOME THOUGHTS ON THE HOLIDAY SEASON IN CHICAGO FROM SUE MOSS!
Well if you haven’t finished your Christmas shopping yet you’re out of luck for 2008. You’ll have to wait until “Next Year”! Sound familiar?
But just because Christmas is over doesn’t mean there aren’t still things to do during the Holidays in Chicago. Here are a few –
The Nutcracker by the Joffrey Ballet is being performed at the Auditorium Theater through December 28th. Click here for more information on performances and tickets.
A Christmas Carol is running through December 31st at the Goodman Theatre. Click here for performance times and tickets.
Millennium Park Ice Skating is open daily through March 15th weather permitting for all you outdoor enthusiasts! Click here for more details.
Now some of you may be busy this weekend with your gift returns exchanges or using up those gift cards while those great bargains are still being offered. After such an exhaustive day why not take some time this weekend and take in one of the many new movies that have opened over the Holidays. A few of those are –
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Valkyrie Milk Marley & Me The Wrestler Seven Pounds Yes Man Gran Torino Doubt and many more. For quick reviews on these movies and others click here.
Finally let’s not forget that next week Wednesday is the last day of 2008! Here are a few ideas for those who wish to ring in the New Year on a budget.
