Thank you!
Finally someone has publicly scorned this horrific display. I work in the same building and am being tortured by this scene for the second year. I was sure that after last year’s debut, it had been realized as a disastrous mistake. However, much to my dismay, it is back again. First off, who is the creative director responsible for this and how does this person still have a job? I am baffled. Secondly, it is just me or do these porcelain dolls look as though they are about to leap out of this scene and take 605 hostage like Chucky’s army?

I am slightly terrified.

On a side note, there were about 30Italian tourists in our lobby this morning gawking at the scene…

I've felt and still feel a lot of those same feelings, even though I grew up in an Episcopal household. This year, I've been too distracted to even notice Christmas. However, reading that you too drove around the empty roads looking for stores or restaurants that happen to be open brought back some good memories.

Although I love the holidays I tend to agree with you about the music...more about memories than the actual sound (and damn that Christmas song about the waif kid, the dying mother and what shoes the mother will wear when she allegedly meets Jesus is enough to send ANYONE into a spree of killing to rival Bonnie and Clyde).

And your lobby display? What the HELL are the damn things that pop up???? Are they goblins? Elves? Monkeys?

"...we might as well have been sacrificing goats and shouting at the moon."

I wish! That would've been awesome. Instead - crappy milk chocolate that always stuck to the gold foil it was wrapped in.

Don't forget the wooden Kwanzaa cup & candle holder.

I actually saw a family of tourists outside the above described lobby Monday, with the children's noses pressed up against the glass to view the fake snow nightmare. If this is the best their parents can do for holiday entertainment, I pity them.

I got a root canal during christmas time last year. Imagine that whilst listening to the wonderous "assortment" (every damn song sounds the same) of christmas songs on an "easy" listening radio station.
If you squint closely you can see the one tiny menorah that companies have to put out amongst the giant christmas spreads as not to get sued.
