Since we will not be celebrating Christmas this year as our grandmother just passed away, we didn't want the girl to miss out the atmosphere and not forgetting to show Abigail, her first sight of Christmas lights (this is what we did for Annabelle when she was younger too).
Even though the mall are packed...
Even though car park was difficult to get ...
Even though how tired we were, these phrases uttered by Annabelle:
Annabelle:" Mummy, look..... Christmas lights!",she was so excited, running towards to the tall lighted trees while turning and waving at us...
Annabelle: "Papa, I wan-na go. I want -- to -- sit.", while pointing at the carousel.
Annabelle: "I am scared.", while waiting for our turn to take a family shot with the Santa Claus.
Annabelle: "Mei Mei, come... see... lights!"
Annabelle: "Mummy, mei mei also wants balloon", the children gets balloon after photo taking with Santa...
(Note: Most of the photos, you only see Annabelle's back because she is more interested to Christmas decorations than the camera!! :))
These had just taken all the "even though" away...
So, if you asked; it is worth going to the mall during this period. My answer is "YES".
