What Are You Doing for the Christmas Season?

No friends? No family? Nowhere to go for Thanksgiving? Come join me for All You Can Eat Sushi!!

Where: Sushi Tokoro 4750 N Western Ave, Chicago, IL 60625

When: Thursday, November 28, 2024 at 12pm

Cost: Lunch is $20 per person for all you can eat or check out their menu here: http://www.sushitokorochicago1.com/

Notes: You are under NO obligation to partake in the All You Can Eat menu, but I hope you will! If you do, please understand they charge extra for any food left over, but as long as we don't over order, we should be fine (Unless you want to pay for leftovers, that's fine too!)

My tree isn't big, and it's artificial, but right after Thanksgiving will be the time to decorate it. The pandemic broke my Christmas spirit, so this tree hasn’t seen the light of day since 2019. Come to my Rogers Park apartment and help me revive it (and my Christmas spirit).

I’ll have some baked goods for us, including my annual apple walnut cake. Please bring whatever snack or beverage feels right to you.

Let's start this season! Closer to the date, I'll you send my address.

NOTES:
Major cross streets are Pratt and Sheridan.
My apartment is at the top of 46 stairs.
Parking around here is bad.
But at least I have no pets.

Why watch a Christmas concert when you can join in? The Millennium Park Holiday Sing-Along lets anyone join in the singing, so let's go! We'll meet at 5:45 p.m. Details about exactly where to come.

This week Leo High School leads the Sing-Along. I can't make it this week, but go on without me! I'll be there on Dec 20th.

It doesn’t matter it you CAN sing. What matters is if you LIKE to!

Who's up for a visit to the Christkindlmarket on Daley Plaza? They’ve got food, they’ve got drink, and they’ve got vendors from all over the world. Wander through booths selling bratwurst, hot chocolate, beautiful Christmas ornaments, clever wooden toys and decorations, warm clothing, and things I can't remember right now. Warm up with a mug of gluhwein. You can spend hours here.

The meeting place is Washington and Dearborn, on the northeast corner near the Rotary plaque.

If you love Christmas, you'll like the Christkindlmarket.

We start by meeting at the northeast corner of the N Pulaski and W Addison intersection. From there let's walk the century old neighborhood that features parkway streets lined with twentieth century style homes and stone planters. The walk will be near dusk so we can still see the houses clearly while also enjoying holiday lights along the way.

After we walk the streets to tour this historic area the group will enjoy dinner at a neighborhood favorite Italian restaurant La Villa. Old school dining experience just a couple of blocks off the tour route. Good food and service are hallmarks of this well established dining venue.

Dress weather appropriate and expect the walk to be about 1 hour in duration.

Limited street parking is available. A lot is near the restaurant, see the google map pin, as well.

Fri, Dec 20 is the last Sing-Along of the season, and the Chicago Chamber Choir leads it.

I love to sing, I love Christmas songs, and I love group activities, so this is one of my favorite things to do. Join me. It doesn’t matter it you CAN sing. What matters is if you LIKE to.
