Snowmen.
There are many reasons why snowmen are particularly beloved, but one old legend explains why children are especially fond of them. Did you know that 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.

History of The Cardinal.
Cardinals, which are sometimes called redbirds, are a wild bird in the finch family. They are named for the beautiful red feathers of the male bird. Cardinals usually live in the eastern United States from New York to the Gulf of Mexico. They are sometimes found as far north as Southern Canada. They are spreading through the basin of the Mississippi River and can be found as far north as St. Paul, Minn. The cardinal is about eight inches long. The bird has a crest of feathers on its head that looks like a peaked cap. The males are mostly red, but have tints of gray on their backs. Their throats and foreheads are black. The females are olive gray and buff colored with a little red in their wings, tail and crest. Both males and females have bright red bills.
Cardinals usually make their nest in bramble thickets or in low hanging trees. The nest is made of dead leaves, grass and weed stems and lines with grass or roots. Cardinals have three to five eggs that are colored white or pale blue with spots of reddish brown and lilac. Cardinals usually have at least two broods of young in each mating season. The birds feed on insects, worms, waste grain and the seeds of weeds and wild fruits. When the winter is very cold the cardinals go to barnyards and corncribs and feed on corn. They are also very fond of sunflower seeds. The male bird stays close by the female during the mating season and brings food to her and the young birds. Cardinals sing a very cheerful song. One of its whistles sounds like a boy whistling to his dog. The cardinal is sometimes called the Virginia nightingale because of its sweet song.
