CHRISTMAS GREETINGS TO YA ALL! Salaam and sorry for the late update! :) 

Dedicated to Globalhijabis for their book "rants" Its awesome! 

here is the christmas eve update! 

~Al

The mall was somwhat empty yet full. You know it feels empty but it is full? 

I walked in as the people greeted us. 

Hasti grinned at Zaki and soon both were sprinting across the mall to the elevator. 

"Arrh Zaki, Hasti wait!" yelled ammi as she sped walked behind them

I face palmed myself but eventually grinned at their childishness. 

I walked in the elevator and stood beside Hasti as people piled in. 

"You should try to be more shophisticated!" i whispered to her 

she scoffed

"You should try to have a little fun!" she whispered back harshly

"Yeah right! Like run to the elevator?" I asked her and she grinned. 

"You will have fun this christmas!" she said 

That reminded me.... Reliance deal was tomorrow! They had shifted it to christmas! 

"Riigghhhtt" I said 

The elevator went "Ding" and it was our floor. 

Ammi decided to do the ladies shopping first and then for the decors at the community hall and then the all gift shopping. 

i took out my phone and checked the time.It was still 1.30pm!

"ammi can we go to that shop?' asked Hasti and ammi nodded

Hasti and Zaki sprinted towards the toy shop. 

"Ammi need help?" I asked her 

"Ah no, you go with them, Mrs. Chaddah is coming here so she will help me with all these!" she replied 

"Ya sure?' I asked her and she nodded

"Okay then call me if you need anything, okay?" i said to her and she nodded

"Go have fun, dear!" she said kissing my forehead 

i grinned and nodded. 

"Allah Hafeez Ammi" I said and she replied back. 

I jogged across the floor to the toy shop. 

When i opened the door, a soft bell rang indicating a customer. A tall petite lady came out, wearing a long dress. 

"hello, how may I help you?" she asked me with great kindness. 

"Ah no, I just came to look around..." I said as I searched for the two idiots. 

I walked further into the shop. It was cozy but not suffocating. It was decorated with all kinds of toys, cars, dolls and even posters! 

"Oh there you are!" said Hasti grinning at me. 

"why out of all places do you need to be here?" I asked her

"Coz I love toys!" she replied 

"Aren't you too old for that?" i asked her

"No! In fact, being old does not matter, what matters is the heart! and now I still love toys so I am going through them plus, growing up does not mean we leave our inner child behind!!" she replied
