Great boots buy for your daughter!!
As for Chicago's "performance" on the float they were on, you didn't miss anything. I was really disappointed that they didn't sing of of their own songs (I mean -- there's so many to choose from!!). Instead, and I don't know if it was their decision or not, they just sang some common Christmas song, and it was less than thrilling.

Plus, the float they were on really didn't "fit" well (in a theme sense) with them. I dunno -- the whole thing was just "off" for them yesterday.
