Holiday Season in Poland

In America, we are used to everything being overly decorated and paying for all the fun stuff to do with kids. Well each year we have been here we have seen a little more Christmas decor. This year was the most we have seen. Our new mall had a HUGE Christmas tree that went from the bottom floor to the ceiling at the top of the mall. There was a cut out at the bottom of the tree and Santa sat in there. It was so cute! We took the girls to see Santa one day...and then Macie wanted to see him again another day we were there. Get this...they both got their pictures made using our OWN cameras for FREE!!! What a concept!

                                      

Then there were elves and snow princesses wandering all around the mall. The elves just played and were silly with all the kids. The snow princesses stopped kids and asked them to sing Christmas carols and in return would give kids a gingerbread cookie or a piece of candy. The girls thought that was a great treat! There was also a little train that the girls could ride on...again FREE!! There was a donation box for money which I was glad to donate to.

The best part though, was that while Santa left for or returned from a break, he sat in the large sleigh that 2 "reindeer" pulled through the mall. It was so funny to watch him just slide around the mall. Haha Such a fun time. Ella kept saying it was the best day she had in Poland.

Unfortunately my phone didn't take great pics as Santa was "flying" past.
