Star of Damocles
December 17th, 2006 by Kelson. Posted in Signs of the Times, Strange World and tagged for christmas, decorations, mallFor various reasons, braved the crowds at South Coast Plaza yesterday. Oddly, it’s the easiest mall I’ve parked at all weekend. Getting to the Marketplace was a disaster, but that’s just because the streets are wholly inadequate to get cars in and out of the parking lot, and the Village (formerly the Mall of Orange) was just plain full.
At South Coast, as part of their Christmas decorations, they had these giant, shiny, 14-pointed stars hanging from the ceiling in several places.
Classic Christmas, but when you go down to the first floor and look up, there are all these giant, gleaming spikes hanging over your head.
It’s a little disconcerting. “Death from above!” is not something I want my holiday decorations to invoke.

S’funny. That’s just what I was thinking.
Whenever I see huge stuff suspended over walkways or eating areas, I hope the contractors’ ate well, had their coffee, and didn’t get into a fight with their significant others before work, that day.
