My 9th reason why I love Christmas

For every year as far back as I can remember, our local Mall has always hosted Woody the Talking Christmas Tree however this year...he is no longer with us. They've "retired" him due to the fact that he was older than dirt :-) The kids would line up and watch Woody wake up and then they'd stand in front of him one by one and Woody would talk to them and ask them what they wanted Santa to bring them for Christmas and he'd sing songs with them and tell jokes. In order to make up for our loss, the Mall had to make the Santa Claus Display that much more amazing so this is my 9th reason why I love Chrismas.



~9: I absolutely love seeing the looks on my children's faces when we turn the corner at the mall and they look at where Santa is. It's amazing..you have to walk through a huge tree where on each side you either have the "Spa" and one of Santa's reindeer, my guess would be Blitzen, along with a racoon soaking in a hot tub or a "Cardio" display where you have another one of Santa's reindeer, again my guess this time would be Prancer riding an exercise bike and a squirrel doing some other sort of work out. On the outside of the tree, you have a little table and chair section where all the good little boys and girls can sit and write Santa a letter and on the actual tree itself, they have mail slots..two to be exact..one for Santa's shorter fans and one for his taller ones. This year they've added a new attraction and I'd like to share a picture of it with you all.
