Robert Brasher

Beautiful white winter days, fog rolling into

the city down the Chicago River engulfing

the steel and concrete skyscrapers, and all

that passes below inspires Robert Brasher’snewest collection of paintings.

Growing up in Indiana the youngest of

four, Brasher set his goals high studying pre-

med at Purdue University. During his studies

he signed up for one drawing class and that

was all it took – he knew he had found his

true calling. Many professors have guided

Brasher through his journey of becoming

an artist and developing his own style.

As a professional, Brasher has developed

a distinctive painting technique, which has

evolved from a solid background in art history

and literature. You can find Brasher memorizing

Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” or playing Chopin on

the piano to relax after a day in his studio.

The current collection of 20 new painting

titled “Where The Holidays Begin” is currently

on display at Curly Tale Fine Art located at

16 West Erie Street.

A special thank you to

Robert Brasher for

creating the cover and

decorative ornaments

for our 2010 Holiday

Activity Guide.

another holiday happening during the season-long Winter WonderLoop celebration

organized by the Chicago Loop Alliance. In Pritzker Park, for example, every Wednesday

evening in December features another special free holiday movie screening at 5:30pm –

check out “It’s a Wonderful Life” on December 1, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”

on December 8, and “A Christmas Story” on December 15.

Prefer a classic holiday page-turner in front of the fire instead? Then gather the

family and head over to the Hotel Burnham at 1 W. Washington Street on Saturday

mornings at 11am for Holiday Story Time in front of the fireplace, complete with hot

cocoa and marshmallows. Back out on the streets of the Loop, keep an eye out for the

photo-taking elves of the Merry Kissmas promotion – a chance to get your smooch

on the big Merry Mistletoe screen.

Meanwhile, retailers will be getting in on the act with discounts and promotions

throughout the season – enter for a chance to win a $100 gift card every day at Block37 (108 N. State; 312/261-4700) or get in on the traditional German fun during the Sankt

Nikolaus celebration at Berghoff’s Restaurant (17 W. Adams; 312/427-3170). Other

the month of December.

WINTER WONDERLOOPWINTER WONDERLOOPWINTER WONDERLOOP

A Christmastime visit to the flagship Chicago

store of national retail giant Macy’s (111 N.

State; 312/781-1000) is a generational tradition

for many families. From the whimsically decorated holiday windows (this year’s

theme is “Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus”)

and the towering 45-foot Great Tree in the

famed Walnut Room restaurant, to a visit

with the Big Guy himself in Santaland, Macy’s

offers a full day’s worth of activities.

Elsewhere in and around the Loop,

distinctly Chicago holiday experiences abound.

For a personalized postcard, head over to the

steps of the Art Institute of Chicago (111 S.

Michigan; 312/443-3600), where you can get a

snapshot with the famous wreathed lions. Just

up the street, a postcard view of the city skyline will be your backdrop as you glide

across the pond with hundreds of fellow holiday skaters at the McCormick Tribune Ice Rink at Millennium Park (312/742-5222). Cap your Christmas adventure in the

Loop with a stop at Daley Plaza (50 W. Washington; 312/744-3315) to check out

the city’s official tree, pop in on Santa, and browse the quaint tents of more than 50

traditional ethnic gift, clothing, and food vendors at the 15th Annual Christkindlmar-ket (312/494-2175).

Chicken Vesuvio at Harry Caray’s Italian Steakhouse

After all of the last-minute bargains and doorbuster specials and mega mall marathons of the past four weeks,it all comes down to this. Yet as a frenzied four weeks of re-tail insanity winds down and Christmas itself actuallydawns, the mountains of gifts and the piles of packagessuddenly seem like the least important part of the holiday.

It’s the opportunity for togetherness and memoriesthat really comes through, and nowhere is that aspect ofthe season better exemplified than in the sharing ofChristmas Dinner. Whether one prefers a traditionalyuletide feast or something just a bit out of the ordinary,there are plenty of wide-ranging options for celebratingthe holiday with friends, family, and food in Chicago.

Traditional

Although the downtown restaurant will beclosed on the actual holiday, there are plenty of great op-tions for your Christmas Eve celebration – from specials like roasted duck and lamb chops to staples like prime rib and Chicken Vesuvio. 33 W. Kinzie;312/828-0966.

Shula’s Steak House Of course, Harry’s isn’t the onlysports-themed emporium for meateaters in this town.Even in the thick of a Bears season, most Chicagoans willstill come out to support the efforts of the legendary for-mer Miami coach’s kitchen staff. Choose from eight greatcuts of beef, or sample some of the fresh seafood selec-tions like lobster or red snapper. 301 E. North Water;312/670-0788.

ditional holiday staples, but the steaks and fish and pas-tas you’re looking for are all here, along with that greatAmerican invention – the turducken. Be sure to saveroom for the solid dessert options. 155 E. Ontario;312/255-8505.

Berghoff For many Chicagoans, it’s can’t be Christmasuntil they’ve waited in line for a table at this venerableGerman institution. After all, sauerbraten and wienerschnitzel might not find a place aside ham and turkey onthe holiday tables in many American homes, but here itjust feels right. 17 W. Adams; 312/427-3170 .

Alternative

Italian Village This Loop treasure makes it convenientto choose the perfect Italian experience for your holiday,with three distinct dining options all under one roof.Upstairs, traditional pastas and pizzas hold forth amidthe small-town atmosphere of The Village; at street level,look for sleek décor and innovative twists on old fa-vorites at the contemporary Vivere; downstairs, enjoysteak and seafood selections in the intimate La Cantina.71 W. Monroe; 312/332-7005.

Dragonfly Mandarin Looking for something differentfor this year’s holiday dinner? How about upscale takeson traditional Szechuan, Hunan and Mandarin favoritesin a swanky, club-like atmosphere? Toast the season witha selection from the towering wine wall or one of thefanciful Asian cocktails. 832 W. Randolph; 312/455-1400.

Gaylord The extensive, reasonably priced lunch buffet isa huge draw at this Gold Coast Indian eatery, but a moreformal dinner certainly won’t send your group homehungry – you’ll all just have to be a little more selective.100 E. Walton; 312/664-1700.

Friends SushiWho decided that turkey and ham had tobe the centerpieces of a big holiday meal? There’s cer-tainly no reason that tuna or eel couldn’t do just as well.In fact, after diners see (and taste) just how freshly andcreatively and colorfully the seafood is rolled up here, wejust may have to add a few new options to the “tradi-tional” holiday menu. 710 N. Rush; 312/787-8998.
