We did some shopping today, with little bear. The first stop was Makro, where we purchased remarkably little. I looked at the toys and it was forcibly brought home - little bear did not need anything. Father Christmas will be delivering with a skip load. To add to several skiploads already here. Plus all the other bits and bobs likely to be given by the very generous people we know.
Then we went to a place called Tong Garden Centre. It is a lovely place. I can only get there if dear heart takes me, otherwise I think I would pop in more often. Obviously it is not full of plants at the moment. Instead it is full of Christmas decorations!
Little bear was wonderstruck as we trundled the trolley through the darkened room full of fibre optic trees. We looked at the pets - who always look adorable (and clean and healthy!). Little bear was horrified that the 'messy' parrot dropped a piece of banana on the floor. We all chose a Christmas decoration for this year - little bear chose red tinsel. Then the great highlight - little bear went to see Santa Claus.
It was a long wait, but little bear was very good. He went in to see Santa. Santa asked him lots of questions, like has he been good and what was the name of pandy? Then, after a lovely long fuss, he asked little bear to chose a present and little bear chose a cement mixer. Santa asked if that was what he wanted, and little bear spoke for the only time. He said, 'essss'.
Of course, he chattered freely when we got home. Mainly about the wonderful cement mixer.
