The awesomeness of Christmas

Thirty days hath September, thirty things we remember … (#16 of 30)

As kids, my sister and I used to love Christmas shopping at Kirkcaldie & Stains on Lambton Quay. Mum would take us to the Christmas store and we would wildly look at all of the sparkly decorations that we wanted mum to buy us. In the end we usually only got one thing each but it was so much fun wandering around the store seeing the Christmassy [sic] awesomeness that is the Kirk’s Christmas store. The holiday season is never complete without this. (Sarah, Visitor Services Host)
