Outdoor malls in the same breath as taking the Christ out of Christmas. Keep up the good work OP, made my day.

A lot has certainly changed but I think it`s grinchy to not point out what has gotten better.

I can now actually order something other than junk to my door. Those poorly colored LED lights, well now I can be Clark Griswold and not broke. People around here decorate way more then when I was a kid. Last but certainly not least I can create a wish list and actually get something I can use.

DUDE...that was an awesome scroll thru a retro flashback!

Thanks so much!

Ya know we have several outdoor shopping centers here in South Texas. They are beautiful and have great shops. Did I mention they are "outdoor" here in South Texas? Ya, nothing better than a hot August day with a temp of 100000 gazzilion degrees running from store to store to keep from igniting from sun exposure! Who was the genius behind that?

In a mall, rain or shine, hot or cold, I can shop from store to store in comfort!
