I am unforgivably late with these pictures. But I did enjoy the Christmas themes of 2013. Each mall seemed to go with a toy, robotic or mechanical theme this past holiday. Although The Landmark pulled out all the stops with a light show and real snow, I think the winner was Pacific Place. Pacific Place wisely gave up the blond ballerinas of 2012 in favor of (slightly creepy) robotic elves.
