Candy Cane Corner polar bear display, once hung, now de-elevated, propped on the floor next to a barren shelf that only recently held purchaseables bearing Christmas cheer™️
A shelf as barren as a Soviet food store, the day after Christmas at a local Target store
The bottom of an escape shelf at a local Target the day after Christmas, covered in glitter
A closer view of glitter scattered on an escape shelf, so redolent of the Christmas cheer™️ available to buyers only two days previous.
