Every year around this time, as I’m walking around Chicago, I can’t get the lyrics from Silver Bells out of my head…
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing
Meeting smile after smile
And on every street corner you’ll hear…
Silver bells, silver bells
It’s Christmas time in the city
Ring a ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Christmas day…
I know lots of people say summertime in Chicago is their favorite time of year. But I really can’t get enough of December in Chicago. The cold is still new, the snow is still fresh… and holiday spirit is everywhere. Beautiful lights and decorations are on every corner… and the anticipation of the upcoming holidays is the air. I love it.
I hope you all are enjoying your December too! xoxo.
