My Christmas shopping is mostly done and there are lots of presents for the niece and nephews under the tree. The shopping mall here in Honolulu was absolutely packed with people shopping like there was no tomorrow. In fact, there were so many people it created a horrible traffic mess getting in and out of Ala Moana Center.
Every Christmas, the center brings out their kiddie Christmas train that plays holiday music and drives slowly around the center. It gives us food for thought in watching how little kids find joy in the simplest things like riding a musical train while adults seem to need to go to such terrible lengths including huge houses and fancy cars and still end up unhappy. Perhaps there is something to be learned from the children about happiness in the little things like riding on a musical train or going to the beach. Perhaps indeed.
