Frosty the Snowman:Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul, with a corncob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal. Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say, he was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day. There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found. For when they placed it on his head, he began to dance around. Oh, Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be, and the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me.
Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Look at Frosty go. Thumpetty thump thump, Thumpety thump thump, Over the hills of snow.
Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day, so he said, "Let's run and we'll have some fun now before I melt away." Down to the village, with a broomstick in his hand, running here and there all around the square saying, �Catch me if you can�. He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop. And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler "Stop!" For Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way, but he waved goodbye saying, "Don't you cry, I'll be back again some day."

History of the Snowman: A snowman is a figure constructed from snow. The image of a snowman is popularly connected with Christmas. Building a snowman is a popular winter recreation for children, along with snowball fights. A snowman is usually constructed by first rolling a large ball of snow to act as a body. A second smaller ball is placed on top. Then a smaller, third, ball is placed on top as a head. Facial features, such as eyes and a mouth are added using coal, small stones or buttons. A nose may be added, using a piece of fruit or a vegetable, such as a carrot. Sticks are added as arms. Snowmen are often depicted with a pipe, a hat and a scarf.
Frosty the Snowman was a Tin Pan Alley novelty created by Jack Nelson and Steve Rollins in 1950, made as a follow up to "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" and sold to Gene Autry, who recorded it. The title was taken up for a children's book, illustrated by Corinne Malvern, and published in 1950 by Golden Books. It went on to become a popular children's television cartoon by Rankin & Bass in 1968. Frosty is perhaps the most famous snowman. Select this link to view our artificial christmas trees for sale.
