Toyland usually really stresses me out. People are greedy and grabby and rude and I end up leaving exhausted and disappointed in humanity. One year, crowd knocked a pregnant woman to the ground to get to a Frozen doll giveaway. This year, I was prepared for the worst, and pleasantly surprised. There were actual lines instead of mobs, and people were decent. Thank you downtown bentonville for reforming this event.
The kids showed grandpa and lady the ropes of navigating Toyland, met some characters, got a load of swag and the thrill of playing with this year's hot new toys.
We were about to head to the car and saw a sign that said "Santa arrives at 4pm. That was in 12 minutes, and we were 4th in line. Santa done by the first week of November? Check! Everyone smiling and in clean, color coordinating, adorable outfits? Yeah nope. That ain't us, right now and I'm 100% ok with it. This is us, folks!
Let's see that up close, shall we?
So awesome, I can't stand it. "Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals."
