Junie B. loves everything about Christmas -- elf costumes, Santa and, best of all, presents! Only one thing could ruin her holiday joy: her tattling classmate May. Junie B. has to decide between salvaging her holiday spirit when she pulls out May’s name for the Secret Santa exchange or letting May know exactly what she thinks of her.




Celebrate the season at the Driehaus Museum


Steps away from Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, the Driehaus Museum is a fascinating and rare example of the palatial homes erected by the wealthy of America’s Gilded Age. The galleries are elegantly furnished with pieces from the most celebrated designers of the late 19th and early 20th century, such as Louis Comfort Tiffany and Herter Brothers in harmony with the immaculately-restored interiors and surviving furnishings of the Samuel M. Nickerson mansion. Designated as a Chicago landmark in 1977, this is a place that every Chicagoan should see.
