ARGH. I went to Woodfield Mall here in the Chicago suburbs, and saw a huge set of displays of Happy Feet promotions surrounding Santa this year! WTF???!!!!
They used to have a nice Santa's workshop/cottage where Santa would reside. With fireplace, ambient lighting, wrapped boxes. You know, the whole warm holiday get-up. I imagine the youngest set might even feel like they had gone to Santa's house to visit Santa.
So they got rid of all that this year. In its place, they have a HUGE "snowglobe" thingy with fake penguins inside where people can go in while they are waiting in line. Santa is sitting out in the open. The area is surrounded by towering displays of Happy Feet movie promotion. That just makes me so upset!
For the price they are charging people per picture, you'd think they don't need a tie-in with the movie to turn a profit.
Cheers, Lin
