Toddling @ Times Square

You get this tingling feeling when you visit shopping complexes this time of the year. The competition intensifies racing for the most decorated. They'll have the largest tree with unique ornaments, Santa's workshop, elves, snow (styrofoam) and even Santa himself.

At Berjaya Times Square they had the foyer decorated with little shops selling children's toys, cookies & cakes, clothing and Christmas ornaments. There was a choir group performing on stage too. It was mesmerizing.

Highlight of the day was when Santa and Mrs. Claus made their way on stage. I was 3rd in line to receive a present from him and Mrs. Claus hoisted me up in the air when my turn came. All the kids got lollipop's and chocolates.

I must say, he is closest to the real one, with his belly, speech and wonderful dressing. I have never came in close contact with Santa but this guy is bursting with that warmth feeling.

Some of the trees are so heavily decorated, you'd have to search through the ribbons and lights to actually see the tree.

This one had angels in lovely dresses the size of my arm hanging on them.

The main tree at the entrance had rain deers attached to it depicting flight around the tree. Excellent setup.
