For many of us, stepping into our favorite mall or store is almost a fantasy, as we know we're a mere escalator ride away from the shoes and bags of our dreams. But during this time of year, the fantasy starts before we even walk inside. But not always. I recently went to Orange County's South Coast Plaza to see what was in store (well, outside), and came out thoroughly disappointed. Most window displays stuck to faux snow and a mini tree. Groundbreaking, right? Turns out, not all holiday window displays are created equally.
