CHICAGO — Thinking of braving the cold to find something to do? Indoor activities like a documentary screening, a storytelling competition, some free mac and cheese or maybe a movie night might help beat both the frigid weather and Wednesday night boredom.

The rest

Indoor movie night
For anyone who plans to bolt themselves inside after work or school, a holiday-themed movie night might help pass the time. Grab "Home Alone," "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" or another seasonal classic, make some hot cocoa and pile on the covers, everyone.
