Twelve Malls of Christmas

Every year I spend a lot of time and money Christmas shopping. I love Christmas and I love giving that "special gift". I live in Northern Virginia, so there are a lot of shopping malls within a short driving distance. I call them the "Twelve Malls of Christmas".

1. Fashion Center at Pentagon City - one of the nicest and my favorite

2. Ballston Common Mall - use to work close by but don't go there much anynore

3. Crystal City Shops - unique speciality stores

4. Tyson's Corner Center - big and every store you can think of, great for "power shopping"

5. Fair Oaks Mall - has great Christmas displays of zoo animals

6. Springfield Mall - has gone down hill over the years

7. Potomac Mills Mall - lots of discount "designer" stores but still has good merchandise

8. Old Town Alexandria - outside shopping in quaint specialty stores like days of old

9. Georgetown Park - beautifully decorated at Christmas in red and green

10. Landmark Mall - not as nice as it used to be, use to have a 60 foot Christmas tree

11. Union Station - unique and has the neatest electric train layput

12. Tyson's Galleria - window shopping only with expensive stores
