Every time something strange happens this year I think that has to be the last crazy twist since there are only a few days left in 2020.
But it seems like the universe isn’t done throwing us curveballs because something new has shown up and it’s unlike anything we have seen before.
In true pop-up art fashion, a nearly 7-foot-tall monolith made of gingerbread mysteriously appeared on a San Francisco hilltop on Christmas Day and collapsed the next day.
The three-sided tower, held together by icing and decorated with a few gumdrops, delighted the city on Friday when word spread about its existence.
During his morning run, Ananda Sharma told KQED-FM he climbed to Corona Heights Park to see the sunrise when he spotted what he thought was a big post. He said he smelled the scent of gingerbread before realizing what it was.
“It made me smile. I wonder who did it, and when they put it there,” he said.
Photos of the giant Christmas surprise were soon spread across social media by bewildered residents.

UPDATE: I asked @RecParkSF General Manager Phil Ginsburg if his staff would take down the gingerbread monolith at Corona Heights Park.
Ginsburg's answer:
"We will leave it up until the cookie crumbles."https://t.co/RrJ7VAilWx
