Sadly, the major store anchors at the mall put up fewer and fewer decorations each year. Belks has released a trickle, as shown below.

I miss the decorations from a few years ago when all the aisle-ways had greenery hanging from the ceiling with red Christmas balls. Really looked festive!
(This photo is from 2016, the last year they used those decoration):

I stopped by our Belk yesterday and looked at their Christmas setup.
They have some nice stuff.

Looks like your Belks has a bigger Christmas section than ours here in Raleigh does. Thanks for the photos.

But our mall is void of any Christmas decorations. It looks very glum right now.

Hopefully, they will get to it later. Did they decorate last year?

OK. Things have really started to hop at Crabtree now that Halloween is past. The greenery which has been there now for a couple of weeks is now illuminated, new decorations have been added and the individual stores are getting their display windows into a holiday frame of mind.
So, let's go!

Storefront window series:
1) Dry Goods has a simple, yet pleasantly seasonal appearance.

2) Another straightforward design. Believe this was Brooks Brothers.

3) And Altar'd State has now completed their storefront. Always a dependable performer year after year.

4) As stated above, all greenery is illuminated since we are post Halloween.

5) Rail garlands are now shining bright.

6) Construction on Santa's village is now under way. He is due at the mall on November 16, just 11 days from now!

7) and 8) Crabtree's giant center court tree blazes forth!
(You can't really appreciate it unless you are there in person. It stands about 35 feet tall.)

That Crabtree Christmas Tree is Magical. Thank you, Crown.
