It might be a little too early or too late. 
This cool token arrived today.
A jovial Santa graces this token from The Denver Dry Goods Co. It was made by Whitehead & Hoag Company and is currently the only example graded at PCGS (it is an MS 62).
There is a listing on tokencatalog:

That Santa would scare the crap out of me as a kid. Who am I kidding...that Santa scares the crap out of me now!
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
Next up will be the creepy clowns!
Who says there is no Santa Clause in numismatics?
I know someone terrified of Billy goats 🐐
That Santa looks just like an old Navy shipmate, who, in later years, played Santa each year for family and friends. Sadly now passed. I will look around for one of those and send it to his wife. Cheers, RickO
