Happy December 1st! Two weekends ago, Chicago had our annual lighting up Michigan Ave parade. The city quickly turned into the first glimpse of a winter wonderland. Pre-January winter is one of the most beautiful seasons for this city. It's covered in lights, garlands, wreaths, greenery, punching reds, and luminescent whites. The dreary darkness that rolls around by 4:30pm has now been transformed into a soft glow that seems to illuminate the whole city. I can't wait until that light, fluffy December snow arrives. We had a little taste of snow a few weeks ago--that was such a teaser! All this Christmas spirit makes me crave drinking cinnamon eggnog and peppermint cocoa, wearing wool mittens and scarves, and having rosy cheeks from smiling in the cold.
Furthermore, I got to spend some time with my roommate on a much needed sushi date. I love this girl! She is always a source of calm and steadiness when I'm caught up in stress and worry. We both have a deep love for Asian cooking, especially Japanese and Thai. Our little date turned into an all out sushi feast! Trust me, only a few yet uneaten platters made it into the pictures :) All in all it was such a nice beginning to the holiday season. A fun meal with one of my best friends and then a romantic walk through the twinkling city with my man, Levi.
Not too shabby a start, dear holidays. Have you caught the Christmas spirit yet?
