Clearly the holiday season has officially started. As I walked down the streets of the Citadel Outlets I could hear a variety of Christmas music echoing in my ear amidst the crowd of happy shoppers. I’m sure they won’t be as happy when Black Friday hits, and the consumerism of America takes over. Until then I quite enjoyed my time in various stores such as the Disney Store, Banana Republic, and of course Tutti Frutti.
Dinner was wonderful, in the form of Boba (half&half), which required quite a long wait, and a much needed family reunion at some Ramen place. It wasn’t bad, but wasn’t exactly “the best” Ramen either.
We ended the night playing games at Round One. This of course included the traditional Deal or No Deal and the traditional air hockey in the not so traditional city of Rowland Heights.
It was there we took a nice little family picture by the Christmas tree.
Somewhere over the rainbow of all the hard work comes a much needed and deserved Thanksgiving and Winter Break! And somewhere even farther over the rainbow lies the future, which remains up until this point undetermined and open-ended. I can only wish it’ll be up above the clouds.
Someday I’ll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That’s where you’ll find me
