A snowman is a man-like sculpture made of snow. Snowmen are usually constructed by children, however, adults sometimes also participate in making snowmen. This activity dates back to at least the Middle Ages, when in Europe every new snowfall would have townsfolk making snowmen on the streets. Snowmen are considered a symbol of Christmas and winter for many, and they often appear on Christmas cards. The common trend is to then dress the snowman, usually with rocks, wood sticks, and vegetables. Carrots are often used for the nose, as are coal for eyes. One time, a snowman stole my Starter jacket. My mom was totally ticked off. Frosty, the eponymous snowman in the popular children's song Frosty the Snowman, had a corncob pipe, a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal. And he would never steal anything...except for magical top-hats.
