Parliament Hill Christmas Lights in Ottawa

A few visual highlights of the Christmas projections on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario.

Home Alone Church in Wilmette, Illinois

Located in Wilmette, Illinois, about 30 minutes north of downtown Chicago, Trinity United Methodist Church is the church that featured in Home Alone. Although Kevin runs between this church and his house in the movie, the two locations are actually in different towns. Despite the difference in seasons, the Trinity United Methodist Church looks pretty much the same as it did when Home Alone was filmed here.

Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa, Ontario

This year a friend invited me to the Shopify Christmas party hosted at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa, Ontario. As far as posh settings are concerned, it's difficult to beat a National Historic Site, a building that once housed the Canadian parliament following the Centre Block fire in 1916, and a museum filled with dinosaurs and various fossils.
