I sat down at the usual spot, sipping my usual cup of hot chocolate at the usual time. I was wearing a cream coloured knitted bobble jumper, with a pair of skinny jeans and black boots, ankle boots of course. My hair was down and I decided to curl it today, and put on a bit of makeup, especially for what I had plans for today.
Niall walked in, his hair gelled up into a neat quiff, wearing a dress shirt and black jeans, with supras tied to his feet. I had told him to dress nicer today, because it was to do with my plan. The activity today was simple, but it would be quite fun, and it would past the time. Niall sat down and drunk his hot chocolate, looking at me expectantly. “Okay, what’s happening today El?” he said, smiling. “Today, Niall, we are going to meet Santa Claus,” I said, smiling. “What do you mean?” he said, cocking an eyebrow, confused.
“At every mall, there is a spot set up for ‘Santa’, to sit and have photos with children, which is exactly what we’re doing today. Except, we’re going to use the trusty taxi, to take us to every mall around here, and have a photo with all the different Santa’s!” I said, smiling. Niall nodded, smiling. “I guess it would be pretty fun,” he said, standing up and throwing both of our cups into the rubbish can. “Let’s get started,” I said, walking outside, with Niall following close behind, towards the awaiting taxi.

When we got to the first mall, we both looked around for the giant Christmas tree, normally positioned in the middle of the malls. “There!” I said, grabbing Niall’s hand and running over to the tree, where camera’s were set up, and little children standing in queues. We got into the line, waiting for our turn with Santa. The photographer gave us each a strange look, before ushering us over to the jolly man. “Hello you two,” he spoke, his voice quite raspy sounding. “Can we please have a picture?” I said, laughing slightly.
“Sure,” he said, patting his knee. I laughed, sitting on the end on his knee, leaning back slightly. “Come on Niall, sit on Santa’s knee,” I said, giggling. Niall rolled his eyes, and sat gingerly on Santa’s other knee, before cheesily smiling at the camera. We both thanked ‘Santa’, and paid for the photo, which was put into a Christmas themed card, with the smooth photo glued into the middle. I slid it into my bag, before checking the time.
“There’s another mall, twenty or so minutes away. C’mon Nialler,” I said, beckoning him as we ran to the awaiting taxi. It flew by quicker than I thought, visiting mall after mall, meeting Santa’s after Santa’s. In the end, we collected about 10 cards, all with us smiling cheesily with various Santa’s. “Here, you can have 5,” I said, laughing and passing him the cards. “We look so cheesy,” he said, pointing out my smile in most of them. I laughed.
“Oh well. There’s this Christmas café down the road, here I’ll show you,” I said, grabbing his arm gently and leading him down the road, to where the café sat, on the corner of a road. We walked in, immediately greeted by Christmas decorations, and loud Christmas music, blasting from the speakers. I heard Niall groan from behind me as I laughed, walking over to a table, with a Christmas patterned tablecloth spread over it, and a Christmas scented candle sitting in the centre. I sat down on a chair, with a Santa patterned cushion under my bottom. “This is certainly Christmassy!” I said, laughing. Niall rolled his eyes, picking up one of the Christmas napkins. “This is over done,” he grumbled, pulling out his phone and taking a photo of the café.
“Nothing can be overdone when it comes to Christmas Niall. Nothing.”
