Build a Snowman Day

**Sings** "Do you wanna build a Snowman?" Even though Frozen has us singing this song about building a snowman there is an actual day for us to celebrate those icy friends that we create in the snow. So get on your boots, grab a shovel, some hot cocoa and head outside to create a winter best-friend.

Now when was the first Snowman ever built? There is not a clear date as to when these winter icons were created but their history has been traced back to a photo that was taken in 1853 but a Welsh photographer. Snowmen are one of the various Christmas and winter themes that have became popular over the decades. Even in television a famous snowman named Frosty came to life in Frosty the Snowman and has been a hit for generations. It's just something about those snowmen that makes you all happy when you one built.

For those of us who don't live in colder climates you can still build a snowman without snow. There are plenty of activities you can download online to create them and you can also draw them too. With the cut outs be creative with it, cut out hats and scarfs for them to dress them up a bit. You can draw a snowman with three circles and you can add whatever you want to them as well. So even if your in the Tropics you can still have your snowman built.

All in all building a snowman is a fun and exciting experience. If you have kids this will one the best things to do with them for family time and it can also become of their most cherish-able memories. So what are we going to do today? Well if you have snow then go outside and build your own Frosty for the winter. And there is no excuse you can still participate in Build a Snowman Day even with you drawing a snowman on paper instead. Until my next blog post, you all enjoy your holiday and be blesses.
