It's Christmas at the Mall



 It's Christmas at the Mall


I took my yearly trip to the Woodfield mall today. They have the Christmas decorations up, so I brought my camera along with me. Seeing all of the Christmas decorations and the people wandering around shopping reminds me of when my Mom would bring me down to State Street in Chicago. They didn’t have Malls back in those days. One of the fun things was looking at all the window displays they had at Marshall Fields. When you went inside they had this Huge Christmas tree in the center of the store that went up several stories. I thought that was the coolest tree I had ever seen. Being a kid was so much fun during the Christmas holidays. Mom always held on to my hand so I wouldn’t get lost in the crowd. I can still feel her touch.



Right in the center of the Woodfield Mall is Jolly old Santa Clause.




 I smiled and watched the children sit on his lap telling him what they wanted for Christmas just like I did when Mom brought me down to see him. I don’t sit on his lap anymore but I do make out my Christmas list every year and keep it to myself. Santa knows what's on my list.

 In the middle of Woodfield Mall they have Christmas ornaments hanging on Christmas trees that are for sale. That is where I am headed to with my camera. I love photography.

What Christmas is All About



 When I was through with taking pictures of the Christmas Ornaments, I walked through the stores. I needed to get in my exercise.  I was going to stop in the Lego Land store but as you see it was crowded so I walked on. I walked into the Sears store and saw a really nice couch. I was tempted to put in on my credit card but I kept my discipline. I will have to put that on my Christmas list to Santa.



I had a pretty good time at the Mall. In the last store I stopped in, I saw this brightly colored dumb looking stuffed Frog. I laughed at it and took his picture. Santa, don’t bring me this. Its dumb looking, LOL
