Some people spend the weekends before Christmas shopping for the perfect gift or spending time with family on a local ice rink. Others throw on ugly Christmas sweaters and get wasted with a bunch of likeminded strangers in Wrigleyville. Whether you love it or loathe it, the Twelve Bars of Christmas pub crawl (a.k.a. TBOX) is one of Chicago's most well-known holiday traditions—a 12+ hour bacchanal filled with cheap beer, colorful stickers, sugary cereals and more than a few bad decisions. Whether you participated in the debauchery or stayed far away from the neighborhood, you'll want to see our photos of the TBOX festivities.
