4 FOR THE WEEKEND
where we wish the weather outside was frightful.
So let’s get to it, starting with…..
Tell Tchaikovsky The News…
Is The Nutcracker kinda strange to you?
We mean, sure, it’s a Christmas classic, a tradition. But it’s still kinda weird.
You’ve got vermin as royalty, sugar plum fairies (whatever the hell those are), dancing dolls appearing out of cabbage, mass hysteria!
But it all seems to work. So here’s to ol’ Pyotr Ilyich and his enduring (and endearing) creation.

Yes, We Know, It Seems Like A Farmer’s Market…
…but it’s not! It’s a Christmas celebration!
(That’s our story, and, well, you know.)
Windy Acres in Geneva is always a good time, and never better than during Christmas.
If nothing else, do it for the children!
(We’ve been waiting to say that.)

And Maybe A Little Santa
Now, a lot of miserable old scrooges always try to throw shade at Santa making all these appearances and having “workshops” all over the place.
“C’mon,” these lousy bastards always say, “Santa couldn’t possibly keep that kind of schedule. And aren’t the ‘elves’ supposed to be making all the stuff up north anyway? I’ll bet they aren’t evening unionized!”
Well sod off, swampy! Have you ever heard of “supply chains” and “local sourcing?” Santa is a modern kinda dude, and he has embraced local sourcing both as a societal good and to lessen the strain on his transportation system (nine reindeer). Get with the program!

And Finally…
Let’s face it, Geneva is a town that seems to be made for Christmas.
The beautiful setting, the cute shops, the whole bloody place looks like it was designed for a Christmas card.
So do yourself a favor and be there this weekend for the annual Christmas Walk and Holiday House Tour. It’s a grand time, and as a bonus, you’ll get to witness the creation of the world’s largest candy cane (no kidding, it’s Guiness Book of World Records stuff) being created at All Chocolate Kitchen.
If none of the above work for you, check out our collection of Christmas events at Merry Christmas! Archives – Fox Valley Magazine. Even Scrooge would find something to do.
Ho, ho, ho!

Weatherwise, it looks decent but not perfect. Friday and Saturday look dry and mild, while Sunday has light rain throughout the day. As ever, plan accordingly.
If, for whatever reason, none of our fabulous four events doesn’t pop your cork, we’ll be very insulted. However, all hope is not lost. Simply go to www.foxvalleymagazine.com and check out our A+E and Events sections for other ideas.
Finally, please do us a favor. We would be eternally grateful if you could share this with some of your unsuspecting family, friends and neighbors. We’d also appreciate some love on our Facebook page (see below). Ok, technically it’s a “LIKE,” but don’t be pedantic. Also, that’s actually two favors. We’ll owe you.
Thanks for reading. Until next time…OH! One more thing. If you’re reading this via the website and would like to have this emailed to you bright and early every Friday morning, please SUBSCRIBE!
