Breaking the Snowman Mold

unique-snowmanEveryone is familiar with the traditional-style snowman. They typically have a carrot nose, coal eyes and mouth, and perhaps a scarf and top hat. I refer to this snowman model as “The Frosty,” and it is on display throughout the houses and offices around the nation during the winter months.

Personally, I enjoy seeing people add their own personal touch to create a unique snowman. Many people in my neighborhood will dress their real snowman up in a costume or use unusual household items to fashion its features. My favorite snowman from last year was outfitted with a NFL jersey and a football helmet.

Spreading the Holiday Spirit

christmas-snowmanThe winter holiday season is a time of year that everybody enjoys. With a fresh blanket of snow on the ground, carolers echoing in the distance and the smell of Christmas trees for miles, how can you not be seduced by the spirit? Not only do you get to enjoy the whimsical ways of all your neighbors and friends, but you get to enjoy adding that festive memorabilia to your very own home. This way you’ll be able to savor the holiday spirit everywhere you go, even when lounging at home in your bathrobe. 

Add some extra special holiday flare to your house this year with Woolys – a prime example of snowman home décor. Frosty the Snowman wasn’t just a fictional character in my mind. I see him in each and every snowman, actual or pretend, I see during the holidays. You’ll be sure to have your very own winter white wonderland when you decorate your home with snowmen and other winter themed accessories.

The Little Things

Since the kids have moved out, my wife and I have made great strides to create our own theme rooms in the house.  My room is dedicated to my love of all things related to Marvel Comics.  My wife took a decidedly innocent route and focused on her fondness of winter décor.  Her birthday is on the horizon and I wanted to get her something special.

After asking around, a friend of mine told me about these great Wooly ® snowmen that he found in the East Coast.  They were like little lifelike guys and I took a chance and purchased one.  My Wooly ® came in the mail the other day and it’s definitely the most unique snowman I’ve ever seen.  I know my wife will love it…even if she’s not happy about my life-sized Elektra mannequin that I want to get.

Snowman Figurine

Snowman FigurineWhether guarding your front yard, appearing on a Christmas card or gazing from a hilltop, a snowman announces that winter has arrived. While their presence as symbols of the Christmas season may date back only to the early part of the nineteenth century, the activity of creating snowmen dates back to at least the Middle Ages, when in Europe every new snowfall would find townsfolk making snowmen in the streets.

 If you are a fan of snowmen, you have many options to incorporate a snowman figurine into your holiday decor. The best part of having a figurine is that you don’t need to worry about it melting.
