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.
What is Skiing?
Skiing is the act of gliding over snow on long, narrow runners called skis. Many skiers enjoy the thrill of speeding down mountain slopes. Others like the challenge of traveling long distances across flat or slightly hilly terrain. Skiing is an extremely popular form of entertainment. It is also a major competitive sport.
There are different types of skiing, two of which are Alpine and Nordic skiing. Closely related to skiing is a relatively new activity called snowboarding. The two most popular and basic forms of skiing are Alpine skiing and cross country skiing which is a form of Nordic skiing.
Alpine skiing refers to skiing downhill. It is popular as a form of recreation and as a competitive sport. The term Alpine comes from Alps, the name of the mountain system in Europe where downhill skiing originated.
Nordic Skiingconsists of cross country skiing and ski jumping. The term Nordic refers to northern Europe, especially Norway Sweden And Finland, where cross country skiing developed as a practical means of travel.
