Holiday Buzz: Humans of Westfield Valley Fair by El Estoque on Exposure

Story by Akshara Majjiga and Karen Ma

Even on a Wednesday afternoon, the Valley Fair Mall was bustling with couples, families and groups of teenagers. With less than two weeks left until one of the biggest holidays of the year, parents, kids and employees were hard at work buying and selling the perfect gifts for anyone and everyone. We asked a girl in Yankee Candle, a Godiva store manager, an employee [at a store she preferred not to name], a kid playing with Legos, a mother of two and an employee at Infinity Beauty for some insight into what they were buying or selling and what the holidays meant to them.
