Comment on People who live in southern hemisphere countries: do your mall Santas dress for freezing cold weather?
Yeah but they're called shopping centre santas not mall santas.
Kiwi here. We have malls and shopping centers, but only mall Santas
You have malls and shopping centres? I thought they were the same thing. Whats the difference?
There’s no functional difference, we just use both terms. It’s a bit arbitrary, but generally once a mall is a mall we stick with that and vice versa. E.g. “Westfield St Lukes” is known as “St Lukes mall” colloquially by pretty much everyone.
