    I think this snowman wants to eat his scarf. LOL

      I hope not, Marsha. He’d be too cold.

    What a handsome snowman, Hugh. I think he is quite dapper and my name for him is Sir Robert.

    He is cute, Hugh. He looks a bit like a Robert to me. Don’t ask me why!

      Thank you.

      Maybe because my surman is Roberts?

        Oh, yes! Maybe subconscious thought. But someone mentioned his rusty hat, so maybe Rusty?

          Good one. Let’s hope the rust does not spread.

    Well, I’m going to call him Fraser Fir. I’d like to think he was carved out from on old Christmas tree.

      That’s a lovely idea, Kevin. I like the idea of him being carved from a Christmas tree.

    I have to say that when I first saw him, the name ‘Brian’ came to mind! I have no idea why! he’s very cute, though.

    I love that handsome wooden snowman and no matter what, he is still a snowman by just his looks. Meaning that one could say that a snowman is not a snowman if he isn’t made out of snow but why does he have to be? As long as you can look at him and recognize him as a snowman,

    Reply
    1. Hugh W. Roberts avatar
      Hugh W. Roberts

      Oh, he is certainly referred to as a snowman in our house. I only wish I had bought his two slightly larger brothers when I purchased him many years back. He doesn’t look lonely, though, does he?

        No, he looks like he is eager to meet anyone who passes by him,

          Good. He seems to keep good company with the other festive decorations.

    He looks like a Jules to me, Hugh. I have a friend who’s nickname is Woody, but I guess that’s too obvious. Wasn’t there a character in Toy Story with the name Woody as well? Anyway, I’d take your snowman over a real and temporary one any time. :)

    1. Hugh W. Roberts avatar
      Hugh W. Roberts

      Yes, Woody was one of the main characters in Toy Story, Liesbet. Those are great movies, even for us grown-ups. There may even have been a Mr Frosty in Toy Story. Or was Mr Frosty in Ghostbusters? One way or the other, Mr Frosty is now implanted in my mind.

    A very handsome wooden snowman, Hugh! I love it! In German its Schneemann (snow) or Holzmann (wood). “Do you want to build a snowman…?” Recalling the song from Frozen. I’m in a festive mood and you know why :)

      I’ll admit now that I’ve never seen Frozen, Terri. Don’t tell my Great Niece, as she thinks I have, but I fell asleep while watching it. She’s ‘Frozen’ crazy and loves the movie so much. I also sent her and her mum and dad to see the musical in London’s Westend. She didn’t stop talking about it for weeks. Of course, she also has some of the costumes from the movie.

        I think it was on Netflix, Hugh. You could stream it and take naps in between. The music is fun! 😅❄️

          I have a feeling it’ll be on over the Christmas holidays, Terri. And as I’m spending Christmas with my Great Niece, I’m sure she will insist we watch it.

      Correct, Cathy. I think he’s cute, too. I bought him several years ago and wish I’d bought the two slightly bigger versions.
