NYC is amazing during Christmas. No knock on Chicago-they have Michigan Ave. and the big train set.
But the fonz gives thumbs up to NY. Almost like it was made for Christmas.

I think I have to go with j33 and a few others who recommend NYC over Chicago during the holidays. From my experiences of checking weather data for both cities, and how a higher percentage of NYC's subway stations are underground, it's definitely advantageous to go to NYC. The wind chill is worse here than NYC, without a doubt. Oh, and did I mention how much of a PITA it is to stand on freezing cold platforms waiting for either the 'L or Metra?

If you want to see Chicago, I would recommend traveling anywhere inbetween the months of April-October, when at least you may get cool weather, but it won't be brutally cold.
