After the lack of Christmas at the International Mall in Tampa, Swampy went looking for Christmas at Melbourne Square Mall.

What a big difference! More than half the store and kiosks are decorated. Though many are not.

Unlike Santa sitting beside a stark fake igloo at the International Mall, the one here has a full compliment of Christmas tree, bag of goodies and festive decorations. I’d have a photo here but that is pointedly frowned upon by Santa’s helpers and the waiting line is a good hundred long.

Here’s a photo of the best decorated and festive tree in the mall at Signature Nails & Day Spa. In many ways the tree out shines cumulative decorations at other stores. Thanks to Kim at the salon for letting me get this photo.
