The windows at Marshall Field's on State St. (not Michigan Avenue) are fun to see, Paddington Bear is the star this year. Near to the State Street store there is a Christkindl Market, more info in the festival link below.
Afternoon tea is always fun at Christmas time, there's a link below for the spots for tea, good idea to have a reservation.
If you are bringing young girls, the American Girl doll store seems to be a must see stop.
The Museum of Science & Industry does a nice display of Christmas trees from around the world.
If you want to see a show, you can stop by the 1/2 price ticket booth to see what they have. www.hottix.org
Here are some links for articles from the Tribune from a couple of weeks ago
