A Bit of Holiday Magic
At our local mall, a new display after so many years of the same old, same old. (It's a bit blurry, I didn't think to use the panorama mode until after the fact.) It was packed on Saturday with parents and their little ones waiting for their turn on Santa's lap, so I popped up early yesterday morning, long before the mall actually opened. I expected it to be quiet, but the food court was already filled with families (8:30 AM, mall opens at 11 AM on Sundays). Fortunately, there was no one around upstairs except the dedicated mall walkers! Also cute: Someone has made a gnome out of cedar boughs. I don't even like gnomes, to be honest, but I loved this. I admit I'm not feeling it this year, I'm not even into the schmaltzy Hallmark Christmas movies as I usually am. I am into having two weeks off work, though! LOL. I'm counting down the working days!
