These 7.5 inch ornament snowman decorations are carrying a brown birdhouse with a red heart-shaped door and a cardinal perched on the roof.
The frosty snowman is wearing green shirts with a blue hem, a blue stocking cap with white poms attached with rope, a tan plaid scarf that is straight up, and brown boots with red and gold checkered trim. The hat has palm leaf decorations that stick above the top of the hat. The angel wings are brown wire with gold accents. The cartoon snowman is smiling so big that his eyes are closed above his crooked carrot nose. The walking snowman ornament hangs by a gold lame cord.
Snowman Stories:
Long ago, when toys were scarce and the closest neighbors could be miles away, children looked forward to the year’s first snowfall with great anticipation. This wonderful gift from heaven afforded them a chance to go sledding, but even more exciting, it gave them the opportunity to create a new companion -- their very own snowman!
Each of the jolly fellows had its own distinct expression and “life expectancy.” With a carrot from the pantry, coal from the furnace, twigs from the yard, an old hat and sometimes a pipe borrowed from Grandfather, a child would magically build a snowman. Their man of snow would disappear when the weather warmed, but lived on in childhood memories.
Our snowy friends dance and that only children are able to see them. After a snowman has been built and left alone outdoors in the frigid air, he begins to come to life! The snowman dances to amuse and captivate the children who watch, for it brings happiness to his rather short life. So during Christmas, if your children seem to be staring out the window in a daze, do not worry, most likely a dancing snowman is entertaining them.
During the winter months, the snowman stands in the garden with his heart full of joy and snowflakes dancing around him. Children, dressed in warm winter jackets and thick wooly hats, laugh and throw snowballs. The snowman is the center of fun and games.
Unfortunately, winter ends, and spring arrives again. The children begin to desire the warm summer sun and hardly pay attention to the snowman. His heart becomes sad, and tears begin to roll down his cheeks. Soon, the tears gradually dry up. The next day, the snowman will disappear from the garden.
The Making of Toys.
Toy making is a large industry in the United States. For a long time almost all manufactured toys came from Europe. The French made costly and beautiful toys, such as lovely dolls with fancy costumes. The city of Nurnberg was the center of toy making in Germany.
Until the end of the 1800’s there was not a doll factory in the United States. During World War I, only a few toys could be imported from other countries because ships had to carry soldiers and supplies. As a result, toy factories sprang up in many places in the United States. Since World War I the United States has placed a high tax on imported toys. Today, Winchendon, Mass., is the greatest toy making center in the country.
