A snowman who doesn't melt

A snowman, bigger than me. 

A snowman who doesn’t melt. 

A snowman full of presents, even better. 

Another original made by grandad.  Such a simple idea, a huge cardboard tube covered in cotton wool with a removable head, so we could dig our hands in and pull out surprises like a lucky dip.  I can still remember the excitement of seeing the snowman by the tree and wondering what was inside but waiting patiently until Christmas morning when we could open our presents.  One day I will make a snowman for my children to keep year after year.  A present in itself to add to the magic of Christmas, maybe for me as much as for them.
