Saint Paul MN - Christmas Day 2021

 






Great expectations and a plan in place to have a second celebration with some additional family.  We started with a more typical big count of people.  Better offers, Covid concerns and life whittled us down some but we were good to go. And then the "host" picked up a bug - so far negative to Covid.  

So a great plan and no event as it went down.  Maybe in 2022.

Stillwater MN - Christmas Eve 2021

 













At last a Christmas gathering.  We tried last year but the weather kept us home after a worthy attempt to head out to Stillwater. 

This year the weather was way too warm for December, but great for travel.  A bit of a car hiccup but got back on track and had a great evening with the Sandors.

Chicago IL - More holiday celebrating

 






























The previous years of lavish holiday decorations seems to be gone - but there is still some efforts being made out there to make it festive and fun.  

Another great day.  Less wind and lots of sun. 

Chicago IL - Big City Christmas lights

 








A much warmer, but windier night as I walked to the hotel.  

Great to see so many buildings lighting up the sky to make for a more festive holiday season.
