These 5 inch angel bell ornaments have dark brown boots that dangle beneath the bottom of the bell.
The Christmas snowman ornaments are wearing a reddish orange sweater that brown stripes and fur cuffs. The snowman costume also consists of a green, red, and ivory striped scarf and a brown top hat with a red, blue, and gold band. The ornament snowman is wearing blue mittens and is holding an ivory bird house that has a red roof and a red and green base. The black eyes of the snowman figurine look as jolly as his rosy cheeks, carrot nose, and cute smile. The base of the bell is decorated with a snowy forest scene and the hem is a red and green triangle pattern. He 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.
Definition of Bell.
A bell is a hollow, metal vessel in the shape of a cup with a clapper, or metal tongue, suspended inside. The bell rings with a clear, musical sound when the clapper strikes it. Bells vary in tone from high to low, according to their thickness and size. Sets of bells may be made, each bell having a different tone to correspond to the tones of the musical scale. Orchestra bells are made this way, except they are metal bars of various lengths that are struck with a small mallet to produce the sound. Bells serve many purposes and their sound forms a familiar part of daily life. Church bells summon people to worship. Bells ring to announce important events such as 12 o’clock on New Year’s Eve.
Chimes.
Bells vary in tone from high to low, according to their thickness and size. Sets of bells may be made, each bell having a different tone to correspond to the tones of the musical scale. Such bells are sometimes hung together and struck one after another. Thus a tine may be played. These bell sets are called chimes. Simple chimes may be operated by hand, by pulling on ropes attached to the bells. But most chimes in great cities are now operated by electricity. The performer sits at a keyboard, which resembles that of an organ, but has fewer keys. As he presses a key, an electrical connection strikes a hammer against the proper bell. Chimes seldom have more than twelve bells. Larger numbers of bells set together to play tunes are called carillons.
Carillons.
Carillons are bells set together to play melodies and may have 70 or more bells. Carillons can be played by hand, but most operate electrically. The player sits at a keyboard. As the performer presses a key, an electrical connection strikes a hammer against the proper bell to sound it. This art developed in Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
