On Black Friday, mom, dad, Jess, Makai and I took the Blue Line downtown. The first thing we did was look at the Macy’s holiday windows. They were cool, but I think they’re more impressive at night when they’re all lit up and the light shines out from the windows.

In Block 37 we saw the movie Coco, which I loved. We ate a ton of popcorn and I had a couple glasses of wine.
Th weather was really nice, so we decided to check out the Christkindlmarket. On the way there, right on the outskirt of the market, we came across the puppet bike. Makai has seen it before, but maybe he wasn’t old enough. This time he absolutely loved it.
The Christkindlmarket was really fun but really packed. Mom and dad and I got alcoholic drinks in our mugs and Jess and Makai got hot chocolate. I LOVE the gluhwein.
At this stand I got a cool Christmas ornament where you pull a string and the toy soldier’s arms go up and down and make him do a jumping jack.
At the honey stand, I bought some German honey that is in a bear-shaped jar.
Back at Block 37 we got something to eat in the lower level, where there are several quick restaurants. My dad and I tried Dia de Los Tamales, the newest restaurant down there.
