Christmas cards with a Waukegan lakefront and harbor spirit.
Waukegan has something few towns do: a real Lake Michigan harbor, with the red-brick Waukegan Harbor Light standing at the end of the pier. Winter on the lakefront makes a striking holiday card.
I design custom Christmas cards for Waukegan families, churches, and businesses, each one built around your photos and message.
Downtown Waukegan lights up for the season with a tree lighting, and the arts come out in force: holiday performances at the Jack Benny Center for the Arts, a Kris Kringle Market with local artisans, and ArtWauk evenings at the Waukegan Arts Council.
