Shopping and Malls In Dallas/Ft. Worth!

You know that giddy feeling you got on Christmas morning when you knew Santa was coming soon?  Shivering in your bed partly from the sugar high, but also from the anticipation of all the new presents that would await you the next day.  As an adult that feeling still persists, but now it's in a tangible form that causes my husband to cringe and try to swipe my money when I tell him I'm heading for the stores.  The drive there makes my heart skip a beat and puts an instant smile on my face as the consumer in me dreams about the new items I'm about to bring home.  Of course, my money never goes as far as I hope, but it always keeps me coming back for more.  Below are some great malls and shopping centers where you can experience for yourself the jittery night-before-christmas sensation yourself.
