By Paul Goldfinger, Editor @Blogfinger Reposted from January, 2014. Ocean Grove, NJ, USA. Fast forward to Dec 16, 2023 where we had sixty degree weather today.
Frosty the Snowman is one of the heroes of the holidays. Yet you don’t see too many of them around OG. So today, two days after our snowstorm, Bruce and Eddie Holmes of Mt. Hermon Way decided to fix that situation. Eddie said that he was creating a snowman, but it’s only a matter of time before the snow feminists complain.
Eddie’s “Frosty” already had a carrot nose, but he needed to do something with their extra carrot. Bruce wanted to use it to make eyes, but charcoal is more traditional. I suggested another anatomic part for the snowperson, but Eddie solved the issue by burying the extra carrot in the snow . He wasn’t bothered by the gender ambiguity evident in his new friend.
So, for now, we have a snowman and that probably won’t bother anybody. Besides, it doesn’t matter, because it’s Eddie’s friend, so Eddie decides.
Dec. 2023. Eddie is probably a teen ager now. Maybe he has changed from snowmen to snowgirls.

Thanks For The Memory……………
I came home the other night to find The SnowPerson right in front of my house, & was really grateful for the smiles it provided. Carry On Eddie……. a new tradition might have just been born.
