There are less than 50 days 'til Christmas, and apparently even deer are starting to panic about getting their shopping done.

According to the Asbury Park Press, a deer broke through a glass door of the mall at around 10 a.m. today, and entered the Journey's store. It then checked itself out in a couple of mirrors before trapping itself in a back storage room.

Tom Mongelli, of our Townsquare news department informed me that Animal Control tranquilized the deer and it was removed from the building. No word on John or Jane Doe's (see what I did there?) current condition.

I don't know what all the commotion was about. Obviously this deer was just in a rush, trying to pick up the kicks that Johnny Fawn has been whining about incessantly for months before they sell out. Everyone knows you have to look good when you roll into the meadow.

As for breaking the glass, how else do you get through a door when you don't have opposible thumbs??
