The Santa has melted.

Our favorite Christmas activity so far has been watching this Santa candle melt, head first. It's like a cross between an advent calendar and a bad sci-fi film from the 60s. This is the first installment of Melting Santa -- expect more as this festive season continues.





Looking good there, Santa. This is before I figured out that the flash didn't help. Don't worry, I capture the ghoulish reality of Melting Santa much better later on.
















Do you smell something burning?























It's eerie how long his face stayed intact. Santa's little beady eyes accused us mercilessly from across the room.




Headless Santa. Fantastic. Thanks, Chris' mom!
