One of my favorite traditions was going to Chicago during the holidays. We would go look at all the decorations. Check out the toy departments for my wish list. That's when I got to see Santa. Plus, every year we would go to the Walnut Room at Marshall Field's to have lunch under the giant Christmas tree.

The only thing about eating there was that we had to wait in line for a very long time. There were no reservations back in those days. It was so worth the wait. Nowadays, they do take appointments, but you'd better make them early.
