Same old Santa

But that's a good thing.

We visited Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus today at the Hancock Observatory, just as we have done every other Christmas season we've been in Chicago. That makes six times - all six of Lincoln's Christmases! - and each time we've seen the same couple.

We did have to break our tradition of Christmas Eve visits; that wasn't available this year. Otherwise, though, we stuck with the routine, including lunch at Cheesecake Factory.

And go here for a fun step back in time; that will take you to last year's, and there are links to three other years, too.
