Speaking Out sent a message to David Simon that said:
Dear Mr. Simon,
You would think with you having 5 children of your own you would understand what Christmas means to a child.......But apparently you have forgotten what that is so let me clear it up for you. Christmas to a child is joy and excitement, its Christmas lights and CHRISTMAS TREES. Not a piece of plastic made to look like a glacier. Christmas trees set the mood for the whole season, they bring warmth, and truly light up a place, Something your glacier cannot do. I am taking a stand, and I will be telling everyone I come in contact with to intentionally boycott your mall just because of the glacier. Do what you know is right for once in your life, bring back the Christmas tree.
Sincerely
