I collect snowmen. As I looked around today I figured it is about time to put them away for another year. I started collecting snowmen about fifteen years ago, but got serious when I got the snowman in the top row on the right made from a sock. My niece The Princess made it for me about twelve years ago.I always like putting out snowmen after Christmas to cheer up the house during the rest of the winter season. Friends and family have found the most unique additions to my collection. Someone came to my house once during the cloudy, dark winter and said the cheery smiles of the snowmen made her day. That is how it is for me. Now that the days are longer and I am seeing more sunshine I do think it is time to drag down the tubs and put the snowmen to bed for another year.
