My Independent Little Girl in the Long Queue this Season

Hello everyone. What a busy day today as we went to the mall for a grocery stuff which is my stress therapy. Even if the weather was not good, I still brought my little girl with us and her grandmother because I’d like her to explore the world outside instead of watching videos on gadget.

When we arrived at the mall, she was very happy to see the Christmas trees, decorations and lightings. Her joy had brought me back into the Christmas memories on my childhood. It was a seventh heaven feeling for me to see the lanterns, the trees, the lightings and the Christmas songs. Christmas was my most favorite season.

While I was busy to take a stolen picture of my little girl enjoying the trees, I also noticed many people shopping for Christmas decorations. Everyone seemed so enthusiastic to display it in their homes without doubting of the inflated Christmas decor prices. People around the world are busy these days to put an ornament in their houses.

While the lightings were around, the mall’s Christmas Carols were played. People sang together with the music because the songs were very familiar. The Christmas station ID of ABS-CBN are the songs that they played that are my favorite, that every Filipinos love to hear. I honestly love their 2009 CSID “Star ng Pasko.” How about you, if you’re a Pinoy do you like their Christmas songs too?

My little girl was upset when I told her to take off her hands on her face so she could have a better picture. I told her to smile, but she still had a tantrum. What would you do when your child has a tantrum? About me, I just let her cry even if in a public place. Anyway, when she does it, she just cry for a few minutes and later she will be okay. I’m blessed to have her.

The Santa Claus is dancing a lot and he is also talking that my little girl has enjoyed. Like I said, she cried after a few minutes but her attention was diverted into the dancing claus. She also danced with it.

The mall now is full of booths with different products to sell. They commonly display foods that are made locally. Here in Butuan ,this kind of mall market can only be seen in Sm and Robinsons before, but surprisingly, Gaisano mall has it since December. Will it last until February? That’s a question. I believe they’re permanent because this mall has defeated Robinsons and SM during an earthquake. Gaisano remained undistracted. It’s the last mall standing. Some Robinsons and SM customers have shifted into Gaisano.

After my baby enjoyed at the lobby with Christmas displays, the last task was to go to the grocery store. We just budgeted 3,000 pesos for a week. The line was too long. It’s expected when it’s December because the neighboring towns have no mall and they travel from their places going here. I mean, all of the towns in Caraga. It takes a long wait before going back home after the groceries, so my baby was just playing at the baggage’s desk. I was glad she found her ways to enjoy while there was a long queue.

Merry Christmas everyone!
