I applaud whatever downtown SLC commission made the decision to dress up the construction barrier walls for the holidays by rolling out decorative panels on them. They’re very clever, with images shaped like windows through which you can look “inside” to a Christmas tree or a stack of presents or “outside” to a snowman or a cluster of carolers. Exceedingly festive. But today as I walked past admiring them, I noticed one scene that threw me for a bit of a loop. It was a “looking-inside” scene of a cozy fireplace with a deer-head trophy above the mantel. Rudolph’s head, to be precise. And his antlers were serving as a candelabra. I’m not easily rattled, as a rule, but does that seem faintly macabre to anyone but me?
Ah, well, ’tis the season. Hope yours is starting off well!
