Warholian slots!
Highschool kids enjoying the sights.
I was here doing some holiday shopping. This is a big tourist-shopping area. You might expect to find some signs of good old-fashioned western-style seasonal commerce here, but instead, I found art installations. What does any of this have to do with Christmas? Apart from a few little trees and ornaments (shown here), not a thing!
I've done an informal poll of how many of my kids have holiday trees at home. About half do, but that's as far as the celebrations go. (These would all be the fake variety--no one uses real trees here.) If you ask them if they get Christmas gifts, you'll get funny looks--gifts are only for little kids, teacher. They all get the day off from school though, so that makes it an occasion to celebrate.
Anyway, it was really nice to be able to do a little holiday shopping without being hit over the head by the commercial-ness of the season.
