How do the “extension campus” Christkindlmarkts compare to the Daley plaza one, in your opinion? Just curious!

I actually haven't been to the other two! Wrigleyville just came into being either the last year before pandemic or the first year after, and while it's not tough to get there, per se, it was just more work than I was willing to put in. Aurora I would need a car to get to, I think. I've heard the Wrigleyville one is nice, which doesn't surprise me; ever since the stadium area renovation they have a lot of event space.

I'm glad they exist, even if I haven't been, because the Loop market was getting super crowded. They even extended the shops around the corner of the plaza, but there were just so many vendors and SO many people.

This past weekend was opening weekend and I really wanted to get some mugs because they have sold out in the past, so I'm glad I went, but I also remembered why I always go on a weekday morning normally (3-5pm on many weekdays is also a decent time to go without crowds, at least until around December 15th or so). It's not even that I dislike the crowds qua crowds but I am easily irritated by people who don't know how FUCKING IN THE WAY they are, and just stop in the middle of a goddamn aisle to have a conversation, or walk three-abreast down the aisle because god forbid you have to make way for someone else sometimes. I do wonder if the Wrigley one might be less crowded.

In any case sorry I can't provide more intel! I should plan a field trip to the Wrigley market. And if I wanted to I could walk north and stop at Byron's on the way home for diner food, too....

Exploring NYC: Happy holidays, and … welcome to New York???

It’s definitely fun to walk around and shop, except for the crowds of people who all have the same idea! And there have been news stories at least once a week about the pickpockets targeting Bryant Park, so I’m glad they put up warning signs. But I’m a native New Yorker, so all I’m doing is tightening the death grip I already have on my bag and my phone!

AFI Silver Theatre’s AFI Holiday Classics: Although holiday movies have been overrunning streaming sites for weeks, nothing compares to experiencing the classics in a theatre, including “It’s a Wonderful Life,” “Miracle on 34th Street,” “Elf,” and “Die Hard.” The moving 1952 drama “The Holly and the Ivy” and the recently restored director’s cut of “The Muppet Christmas Carol” are two noteworthy…

On the days before Palm Sunday, many cities and towns have a fair selling the palms, laurel and other artisanal products for the holiday, like sugar rosaries and colourful ribbons.

Palm Sunday (the Sunday before Easter) is an important Christian holiday that commemorates Christ's arrival to Jerusalem. Many Christian denominations, including Catholics, celebrate this day by waving palm tree leafs, olive branches and bay laurel branches, like the people of Jerusalem who according to the Bible went to greet Christ in this way. On Palm Sunday, these palms and branches are taken to be blessed. The blessed palms and branches are kept until next year, when they're replaced by the new ones.
