We didn’t even make it to Thanksgiving this year.

Every year since 2011, during my holiday shopping I’ve found…

Smushed Santas…

…squashed teddy bears…

…gutted snowmen…

…pushed-in nutcrackers…

…pinched teddy bear heads…

…and punctured teddy bear heads.

And now, may I introduce the 2017 inductee into the Mutilated Christmas Chocolate Collection:

Pushed-in Snowman!

I spotted him while picking up Gatorade for our upcoming Turkey Trot.

The seven-year photographic streak of destruction continues.

Every single year.

Again, nothing will ever top that first year with the perfect eye-patch of those two teddy bears, but it’ll do.

I will never understand why this happens. Poor things.
