What could be more magical than a Christmas snowfall? That would be a Christmas snowfall in Chicago!When the city of Big Shoulders is surprised by a wintry blast from the plains there is this certain air of excitement, a sense of anticipation that surrounds the metropolis and bids it to take a time out. This is especially true at Christmas Time when emotions are already amplified by the seasonal excitement of city shoppers scampering to and fro.
A feeling of tranquility descends as the fluffy white blanket of silence covers the roads and roof tops making for a much needed silent night. The pure white powder transforms the hussle and bussle into a softer and more manageable moment in which we can slip sideways into our childhood selves and maybe even make a snow angle.

What could be more beautiful than to see the sparkling white lights of Michigan Avenue frosted by a winters kiss or the park and pavillions transformed into snow sculptures. Call me crazy but it is this little miracle each year that sets the tone for season, at least for me.
