This mall really ticked off a lot of shoppers when they decided to get rid of their Christmas tree for Santa to sit under.
The Blaze – The SouthPark Mall in Charlotte, North Carolina, had decided to break with tradition this holiday season and give Santa Claus a brand new place where tiny tots with their eyes all aglow could visit him.
And that meant no Christmas tree — but a way cool glacier!
As you might imagine, the reaction to the new Santa experience wasn’t very positive:
