'Tis the Season

Happy Holidays, readers! 

The past couple weeks have been so fun! I have absolutely LOVED living in Chicago over the holiday season with activities such as: the Zoo Lights in Lincoln Park, the Chriskindlmarket in Daley Plaza, riding the Holiday Train, the Mag Mile Tree Lights, and the hustle and bustle on Michigan Avenue.  

For the month of December, the boy and I created our own little bucket list to experience all that Chicago offered.  


* Fireplace bars
* Watch White Christmas
* Put up the tree/Christmas decorations
* Christmas Shopping
* Ice skating/ look at the Zoo lights
* Christkindlmarket - mulled wine and pretzels


Friday evening the boy surprised me with the perfect spot for date night: Scofflaw.  A gin/whiskey fireplace bar located in Logan Square, Scofflaw, has by far, moved to the top of my list of top bars in Chicago.  When we arrived, there was a small line outside and it was a freezing night, while waiting in line, we were given cups of hot chocolate.  Upon entering the bar, we sat down by one of the two fireplaces, on an antique couch and because the clock had just struck midnight we were given fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.  Also, in addition to being great in every other area, everything on the menu is $8.  It was the PERFECT date spot.  





Take Care, 
Love, Blair
