5 Fun and Safe Ways to Celebrate Christmas in Chicagoon December 18, 2020 at 3:22 pm

It’s easy to get bummed out about all of the Christmas in Chicago festivities that aren’t happening this year— many of us are separated from family and friends, and winters can start to feel pretty long in Chicago. Luckily, Chicagoans are tough, and can handle a little outdoor, well-ventilated merriment; even if it gets a little too frosty for you, there’s a wide variety of events and activities in which you can participate from the warmth and safety of your own home.
