This anti-Christmas card features a snowman in the depths of winter depression - he's got the most mournful, dejected expression imaginable with droopy, sad eyes and a downturned mouth that looks like he's on the verge of tears. His whole posture screams defeat, with his stick arms hanging limply at his sides as snow continues to fall around him in what looks like an endless, gray winter scene. The snowman appears to have given up on any pretense of holiday cheer. There's no hat, no cheerful scarf, no accessories to brighten his mood - just pure, unadulterated seasonal misery. His carrot nose seems to droop as much as the rest of him, and his coal button eyes look like they've seen too much winter and can't take any more. The text "BUILT TO SUFFER." is brilliantly dark, suggesting this snowman was literally created for the sole purpose of enduring winter's worst.
