loves to put snowmen in everything during this
time of year. Snowmen eventually give way to
snowwomen, snow animals, and snow families. I
think my mother wanted one of those; she had so
many snowmen figurines and plush toys that we
had to find a box just for them. No joke.
Snowmen are already memorable, especially
when they start to melt. That’s where I find joy
in snow; when it melts. But for those of you who
want to make building the snowman memorable,
I offer the same thought as I did before. Make it
weird.
Build the sort of snowy monstrosities that only
a child’s imagination can come up with. Give it
two heads, four arms, and find every carrot you
can and decorate every inch of it. Don’t be afraid
to bring out the magic of the first snow. Just don’t
give it a hat, unless you’re really sure you want to
risk the old fairy tale coming true. I know I don’t.
I don’t want company trailing water in my house.
