Post-Holiday Plans at Yorktown

January’s the perfect time to stop by Yorktown Center, shop all of the great after-Christmas sales (don’t forget to use your holiday gift cards!) and check out the latest Oscar-worthy flicks at AMC. No trip to Yorktown would ever be complete without heading up to the food court on the upper level and treating yourself to a drink and cheezborger, all while catching up on your favorite sports teams.  See you there!

Five Reasons to join your wife for holiday shopping at Yorktown Center. Yes, you just read that right!

5. Stuff the Sleigh

Now through December 12th, you can help Lombard’s Fire Department fill their sleigh with toys to benefit the local Food Pantry and Teen Parent Connection. While your wife shops away, you can drop off unused children’s toys into Santa’s Sleigh. On December 12th, you can enter to win for a chance to win designer handbags, jewelry and even a shopping spree (hint, hint: perfect gifts for your wife!!). Stop by KISSFM’ss live broadcast and enjoy music while your wife finishes her shopping.

4. Thank the Veterans

Through December 13th share your words of gratitude for those who served our country. Stop by the Guest Services Desk to create cards of thanks, encouragement and holiday cheer for the Jesse B VA Medical Center’s Veterans! A simple thank you card makes the perfect gift for the Brave, and one that won’t need a gift receipt.

3. Free Holiday Performances

While your wife makes a stop into Carson’s, you’ll be able to take a load off by listening to a variety of local entertainment right outside their Upper Level doors. Schedule includes show choirs, bands, and carolers throughout the community. For a full list, visit http://www.yorktowncenter.com/event/holiday-performances/2145465810.

2. How Sweet It Is

It goes without saying that when you offer to park the car, carry the shopping bags, and wait patiently for your wife to finish her Gift List, you automatically gain brownie points for being such a sweet husband. Speaking of sweet, Gloria Jeans featured their mocha-licious drinks on WCIU You and Me This Morning earlier this month. Ordering one of these for your better half will score you yet one more brownie point! Check it out here: http://www.wciu.com/videos/youandme/winter-drinks-hot-chocolate-and-coffee

 

1.What’s in it for you? That’s a simple one…

Plain and simple, you can end the shopping day (or escape from it) by heading into the food court to none other than the Billy Goat Tavern. A modern bar, multiple televisions, and a World Famous Cheezborger will make your trip to Yorktown Center completely worth it. Billy’s saving you a seat – see you there!
