My mother, sister, and I have always spent Black Friday together. We used to go to one of the largest malls in the suburbs, but now that my parents have moved to the city, the tradition has been modified. This, then, was Year Two of the New Tradition: going to see the wreaths put on the Lions at the Art Institute of Chicago.
We don’t see the actual be-wreathing as that is at 9AM and the crowd is a little bananas. Better to let the thrill die down slightly and go at noon for an unencumbered view.
Afterward, we went over to the Macy’s on State Street to check out the decorations there, including the giant tree in the Walnut Room.
I’ve never eaten in the Walnut Room but it looks like lunch there on Black Friday is a tradition for many shoppers. I thought we saw a bride wandering through the dining room, but then she busted out a wand and waved it over a kid’s head while singing a tune about winter. Apparently she’s the snow fairy? I’m not sure if that’s the best job ever or one of the worst (like how you’d think the ice cream truck man would eventually be driven mad by the sound of the constant, repetitive tune the truck makes). I digress.
Macy’s on State Street is huge and was full of people on Friday.
While shopping wasn’t the main goal of our Black Friday, I did find an awesome new winter coat. Of course, then it was unseasonably warm on Saturday and I didn’t get to wear it. Alas, I’m sure there will be many opportunities.
