Christmas Ornament #3: Hula Snowman


In 2006 we moved to sunny St. George, UT.  That meant saying goodbye to white Christmases and hello to being uncomfortably hot for about 8 months of the year.  We needed an ornament that would match our new tropical clime, and found some festive hula snowmen.  Unfortunately, they had a problem: legs.  The 4" snowman had skinny 2" long legs sticking out the bottom.  If you're familiar with snowmen (which the creators of this ornament apparently were not) you'd know that they don't have long skinny legs.  The story has a happy ending though, because one of the snowmen hanging there didn't have legs.  I don't know if it was from an unsupervised kid, or if the snowman had a run in with the mafia, but either way, in our eyes this was a feature, not a flaw, so we bought him.
