Wilmington Mall

We went up to the local Mall just to walk around and look at the decorations. Problem is. You could hardly tell it was the Holiday season. Just a few lights hanging up. No tree and no Santa Claus. A mall without a Santa..WTF over.
I asked a young lady, whats the deal. She said to many people bitched about it two years ago. So the last two years they didn't have a tree.

Tell her you are taking your business where they do have a Christmas tree.

Of course - but I just watched that movie the other night and couldn't pass up the opportunity to throw it out there.

As far as the mall - sounds like a cheap charlie save-a-buck cop-out on their part to me.
