How to build a snowman

First you have to have snow!  Lots and lots of snow!  And it has to be just the right kind or you don't have a prayer, so a world class snowman kind of starts up in heaven, or the heavens, depending on your point of view.

It takes patience. You can't start just as soon as you see snow.  Start too early and you won't get a top notch snowman.

In the beginning you start with a handful of pristine virgin snow.  Then you carefully shape it and  begin rolling it around.  Be careful.  It matters where you roll it.  In the wrong places you will pick up more muck than good stuff.  This is the foundation.  What happens here is important!

The next ball starts out the same way.  Deep inside this ball is the snowman's heart, amazingly big and warm for the cold world it lives in.  Shape with care!

Last, but not least, is the head, a seemingly small part of the whole, but important none the less.  What you put here makes the difference between a Frosty and a sad little blob of slush and ice at the end of the season.  A good head is necessary even when there are no shoulders!

Your choice of hat is really up to you.  Put it on his head then step back and wait.  If he speaks to your head, or heart, and you begin to dance around, you have succeeded!
