Santa Suit

... a real Santa Suit, lapels and all ...

Catherine, Hebe and I shopped at Winners after leaving the Barbie Expo -- really Catherine and I were helping Hebe look for Christmas presents.

But this turned into Hebe looking for her own presents in the toy department, and Catherine trying to gather board books for infants, for she likes to give those away as gifts.

On the way out of the store we walked around the perimeter of the shop, passing by men's jackets.

I wanted to take a picture of this one, a jacket that should only be worn to church during December, red lining and all.

How could Hebe have found presents for others when the presents she will get at Christmas loom in her mind.

Second floor of shopping centres at Peel Metro
Behind us is the top of a two-floor high
model dressed in a red sequince dress.

Notice that Hebe's Barbie is in our picture.

The model's red shoe was upstairs by a bannister
and was so large that Hebe could climb
inside of it and  have her picture taken.

Will Santa deliver that American Beauty doll that she has been looking for on ebay.

Will it be back ordered for Santa and she won't get it in time.

So many worries for Hebe that her shopping trip was really ruined by those fears of the unknown.

Well, 24 more days until Christmas, so lots of time to work on settling her fears and finding some gifts for others.
