Chicago Christmas Photos

Posted bymelissamyoungerPosted inUncategorizedTags:, , , , , , ,

Since we haven’t been able to go out and explore Chicago this Christmas, I’ll have to share some photos from last Christmas. Hopefully, once our apartment is decorated and if we drive through a Christmas lights display I will have some more to share.

The Museum of Science and Industry, Chicago

I loved seeing all the Christmas trees from around the world. Can you guess which country each of these is from?

Union Station

They had a giant Christmas tree and a large engine on display as the “Polar Express” (but my battery died before I could get the picture!).

Like Kevin McAllister, I just can’t get enough of towering Christmas trees for some reason.

Zoo Lights at Lincoln Park Zoo

If you’re ever in Chicago around Christmas, I recommend the zoo lights!

It was different to go to the zoo at night, and one of the cool parts was that the nocturnal animals like the wolves were extremely active and fun to watch. But man, it was cold! Even dressed in layers we were frozen to the bone by the end (that’s what hot chocolate is for!).

This year, due to CoVid, we can’t do many of the fun Christmas things we want to, but we might check out one of the drive-through Christmas light displays (Some for the Chicago area can be found here: https://www.timeout.com/chicago/things-to-do/christmas-lights-in-chicago).

Happy Safe Christmasing, Everyone! 🙂

I always dreamed of being a writer, but never thought I could make money doing it. So, after earning a BA in English and honing my reading, analytical, and writing skills, I settled for a more "stable" career in ministry (joking, of course!), bringing my love for the written word to my Biblical studies as I learned Greek and Hebrew, Exegesis and Theology while getting an MA in Theological Studies. I've worked in various ministry capacities in the church: children's minister, ministry staff (aka, "whatever needs doing"), ESL teacher, youth intern, and others. Though this blog is mostly about classic literature, I will probably throw in some thoughts on writing, occasional theological musings, or my reflections on emotional health, psychology, philosophy, or cultural topics. I am a thinker and a lover of many things! I am currently pursuing publishing my first children's novel while doing freelance writing (my profile here: https://www.upwork.com/o/profiles/users/~0104b8a9e8c1253315/). I like to paint (and may share some of them here someday!), enjoy the outdoors, learning, reading, and growing. I also love learning about other people and helping them to realize their gifts and potential.
