Today was the day Dakota and I look forward to during the holiday season - our mall watching day. This morning we loaded the kids up and drove to a nearby mall, one that we know gets crazy during the holiday season, just so we could watch all the frenzied activity and know that we weren't there because we *had* to be but rather because we wanted to be there to enjoy all the frantic holiday energy and activity.
I was hoping we would see one of the kiosks that have all the as seen on tv things but alas, the mall has gone upscale since Christmas of past and there was no such place. I think you can still find the As Seen items in some of the bigger stores but frankly, where's the fun in that? I used to love going into the As Seen stores and checking out all that stuff.
And yet - it was still really enjoyable. We spent about two and a half hours there, shopped around a bit, people watched, the kids rode the mall rides, we had lunch, stood in line to visit Santa and just enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the mall at Christmas time.
It's been a really good day! :)
