A Freudian would notice in this imagery a huge sexual frustration that screams to the skies. Big! Red! Boxes! are a woman’s equivalent of gigantic penis-shaped objects displayed by a man.
Leaving Freud aside, this is so ugly. Why can’t these people hire somebody with a modicum of artistic sensibility?
What would you expect from someone who has openly admitted that she went for an EdD for the sake of the title that would be conferred on her?

“Big! Red! Boxes! ”
I thought the most suggestive part was the way they were arranged around the…. portal…. like… no, I don’t think I need to write that….

They should hire Melania. She got so much crap for her Christmas decor but it was 1000 times better than this kitsch. But of course the press will swoon over it.

“got so much crap for her Christmas decor”
Of course it wasn’t hers…. I’m sure she hired people to come up with something tasteful (and kind of forgettable).
The Giant vulva door though looks like an intensely…. personal project.

“Looks just like us!”
This is the first time I feel sorry for the NYT writers. What must go through one’s head writing something like that? Do they get drunk and write crap like that?

Of course the boxes are decorative, so they’re all empty. This is a powerful statement about what inflation is doing to ordinary families this Christmas…
