Happy Holidays!

We here at Blue Crab Boulevard have been the bearers of all too many holiday tragedy stories. Today is no exception. We regret to inform everyone that Frosty the Snow man has been the victim of a fatal stabbing. Police have two suspects in custody. But that won't bring Frosty back, now will it?

CINCINNATI - Two Christmas grinches were arrested Monday, accused of stabbing a 12-foot-tall inflatable Frosty the snowman with a screwdriver. The Hamilton County Sheriff's office said two 18-year-olds were charged with criminal damaging, and the investigation continues to snowball.

The assault on Frosty was caught on tape when homeowner Matt Williquette set up a motion-sensitive video camera in a tree in his yard because the snowman had fallen victim to two earlier attacks.

The inflatable, the biggest figure in his Christmas display in suburban Colerain Township, was punctured with a screwdriver Sunday night, for the third time.

Williquette had used white masking tape to patch over Frosty the first two times.

I guessing the two attackers are a couple of flakes. Hey, if the cop could do it, we can, too.

  And if they don’t catch someone quickly, when does this become a “cold case”?
