Yesterday, I had a great deep tissue massage preceded and followed by a lengthy steam. It was much needed and felt great. Afterward, I was relaxed, refreshed and reset.
Then I made a mistake and things got ugly.
I went to the mall.
Let me remind you, this past weekend was the last weekend before Christmas.
The adventure that was the tour de parking lot should have been my first tip off that this was a bad idea. Parking had really just become a concept at this point. For every 1 person leaving, 2 or 3 were already waiting for their parking space. Finally, I parked across the street and walked over.
When I was inside the mall, North Park, it was awash with a sea of people who were at once wandering aimlessly and stopping suddenly, seemingly for no reason at all. You've seen, on the Travel Channel, foreign cities with crazy traffic that takes a life every day or so. That's what it was like.
It was a mess and I wanted out-until I saw the excitement of the kids, and most of the parents, in line to see Santa Claus. It was great.
I like people watching in general, and seeing joy and excitement in other people is a pleasure of its own. Add the magic of Christmas as seen through the eyes of a child and well, it’s highly recommended.
So, go see Santa. You won't be sorry.
