Honestly, I was not too impressed. The coolest aspect was how perfectly wrapped the trees were with lights but that was about it. I was expecting way more. I am not sure exactly what I was expecting just more. At one point the sister missionaries gathered around and started singing Christmas songs...well Lincoln was NOT happy about it! He covered his ears and ran by them saying "make it stop make it stop". AHAHA...they werent THAT bad!
We rode the Jingle Bus which in the pictures look more like a cable car but its not...it is literally a city bus! HA...we got to it before all the crowds (or maybe no one rides it?!?) so it was just us on it. Its free and takes you from one mall to the other pretty much. The christmas music the guy had playing was WEIRD! He was friendly and all it was just a little weird. Plus again. a let down because we are so used to San Francisco Christmas stuff.
We finished off the night with a trip to the mall..which Brynlee hated because if she is outside then goes inside she gets MAD! She LOVES to be outside. She also hates beanies...sooo there is that aspect to. Lincoln enjoyed finding these books that he could press a button and the action figures spun really fast and danced. They made me dizzy so I couldn;t look at it.
Finally we grabbed some Cold Stone (omg the dark chocolate peppermint is back! YES!!!) and grabbed some Chinese food to eat at home. It was a fun family date night just not what I was expecting.
Im just really not feeling Christmas at all this year. Part of me is excited to be here where it snows, but a HUGE part of me misses home. I miss shopping with my sister, being around friends, going to San Francisco, etc. Everytime the radio comes on it is a song about being home for Christmas...seriously I have to fight back tears EVERY TIME! I want to be home so badly. I miss it. Christmas day is going to be REALLY hard I already know it. One day we will be back...sooner than later! ;)
