I am loving your newsletter. It's bringing back such good memories for this GenXer. And also making me sad for what my daughter will never experience. They're tearing down the mall where I visited Santa Claus every year as a kid. Granted, it's been closed for years, but the finality of the demolition hits different.
First, so glad you’re enjoying the newsletter. The loss of malls will continue to hurt. I think a lot of us didn’t realize it until we weren’t able to share the joy of them with younger generations.
Great read! Thanks for collecting those amazing videos. Still not for me to go back to the mall at Christmas time. I know my Dad always wanted to go out on Christmas Eve just to experience it all and get some random stuff just for the thrill of it. That is wild to me.

I feel ya! I can only do it once during the season. Even with the demise of many malls, they can still be an overwhelming place during the season.
