Have a Very... Unsettling Holiday!

These are a few shots of a holiday display by Hysan,
one of the more successful property developers here
in HK. It's mounted on one of their most exclusive
properties. I honestly didn't know what to make of
this - obviously a lot of time and money went into
it, but one wonders what the hell they were thinking
exactly. The christ reference is pretty obvious -
seems he has kept the halo but dispensed with the
cross and bleeding wounds. He's also upgraded his
outfit, no doubt because Louis Vitton and Dior are
right across the street. Also he is quite capable of
breaking out of two dimensions, but is choosing to
stay behind and suffer for our fashion sins. I don't
know what the albino peacock represents, nor the
braided chef, who seems quite put out at having to
cater the event. The magic-spark throwing child looks
more like a safety ad for the dangers of
present-generated static electricity. She appears to
be falling into some kind of gift-based trap, and her
sparkly powers can't save her; maybe fashionista
Jesus can. And finally there's the traditional xmas
fairy queen, complete with her famous dry ice
well/pocket watch potted plant combo...
