Step Back in Time at These Warm and Jolly Holiday Events
There is just something so truly delightful and warm about reveling a bit in Christmas past. I love a good old fashioned Christmas experience. It just warms the heart! Plus, some of our local historic homes are just absolutely breathtaking in Christmas decor. I have put together a few of these experiences happening this year so you can enjoy a bit of the holiday spirit of yesteryear:

Holiday fun is in full swing! There are plenty of opportunities for fun this weekend. Check out my special picks:
Experiencing the Durkee Mansion's Historic Holiday and Kemper Center's Gallery of Trees wrapped us in the magic of the holidays. We definitely had to check out every sparkle and special detail during our recent visit. Enjoy a little splendor of this Kenosha holiday tradition:

A trip to the theatre is such a special holiday season tradition. We began our holiday celebrations this year with a visit to the Citadel Theatre in Lake Forest for the opening weekend of It Runs In The Family. This is the second production that we have watched at the Citadel Theatre and this performance was just as fantastic as the last. If you are looking for a high-quality show, the Citadel Theatre is the place to go!
HARMONIX Brings You A Very Cool Yule Will Have You Dancing And Singing Your Way Into The Holidays

An early holiday performance of Harmonix Brings You A Very Cool Yule at the Wyndham Garden - Kenosha Harborside lifted my spirits and floated me straight into the holiday season. The energetic a cappella group had the audience bopping to familiar tunes from start to finish. The show was such a merry way to start the holidays!

Recently, we hiked at McHenry County Conservation District's second-largest preserve, Pleasant Valley Conservation Area, near Woodstock, Illinois. I had heard a number of good things about Pleasant Valley so it has been on my list for a while. I am glad that we finally had an opportunity to explore this wonderful preserve!
