My family and I went to the Greenhills Shopping Center this
weekend. On the way there, the streets are jam packed, mainly
because it's a weekend, and it's December already.
Finding a parking spot wasn't as difficult as it used to
be. Yes, there are long lines of cars waiting to enter the
parking area, but I'm happy to see that they now have a
new system: you are guarranteed a spot when you enter. The
security guard would actually tell you where the vacant
spot is! Nice.
Proceeding to the Christmas Show (free to the public) area
is a little difficult due to the long queue of people at
the entrance. It's also crowded inside, since there is also
a Christmas bazaar in the other half of the area.
The show this year was based on the story of the Nutcracker.
It was short and sweet, but of course the show repeats every
half hour. (Yay for the kids.) Getting decent pictures is
impossible, especially if you have a crummy camera like
mine.
Lots of food at the site, such as barbecues and sandwiches.
Grill smoke and yummy aroma was virtually everywhere, and
deciding what or where to buy food proved to be an exhausting
exercise. We had some pork barbecues on sticks, pork ribs,
java rice, and beef shawarma sandwiches. Very nice! *Burp*
After the meal and multiple viewing of the show (my kiddo
was already telling us in advance what would happen), shopping
was on the agenda. Make sure everybody knows the meeting
place and time for the end of the shopping time. And yes,
a fully charged mobile phone, too. It is very easy to get
lost, or disoriented at Greenhills. (Happens to me all the
time.)
Well, the Greenhills Christmas Show is a nice simple treat
for the kids, a great reason to pig out on the barbecues,
and a good excuse to do some evening shopping.
