I Believe in Magic

I'm a sucker for a good sappy holiday moment. 

can you hear Michael Buble singing it's beginning to look a lot like christmas as you read this?

i can't even begin to tell you how much i love this time of the year. 

i'm not sure what it is but don't you feel like there is just magic in the air? 

(yes i know… i sound a little crazy but who cares. hello santa!!!) 

so this is my first chicago christmas and it's playing out pretty well. 

as we all know; there is always something to do here in chicago. this past week i got invited to join a group of friends to visit the the Kindl Market 

(and no. i didn't spell it wrong…that's how they spell it)

i'm in love. 

this place is literally like a little pop up christmas village in the middle of concrete chicago. 

the moment i walked in i noticed that a lot of people were carrying around little stocking boot mugs. 

i didn't care what was in it but i had to have one. 

to my delight…

IT WAS WINE!!! 

warm wine…but still wine.

so put on your cute winter boots, bundle up with your latest winter accessories

 and get to the kindl market now. 

it's open until 12/24

highly recommended by yours truly

you can't tell me these aren't the cutest things you have ever seen
