Another Favorite......

As the Christmas holiday approaches our apartment takes on a new look. We don't usually decorate with a lot of red, but our Santa Claus collection gives December a fun, colorful "zip". I love distributing them around on shelves and tables even if it does make dusting a bit more complicated. 

A few years ago Santa left something really fun in my stocking on Christmas morning. We were in West Bend at Megan and Mike's when I unwrapped a small box.

With the colorful Christmas paper off I must admit I was a little confused by the gift. A melting snowman???? But once I read the instructions and made my first one I was hooked. I look forward to re-finding him every December. His ever changing shape sits on the kitchen counter overlooking our dining room. He starts tall and proud and within hours he is reduced to a white "puddle".

When he reaches puddle stage I peel him off the counter, take the hat, eyes, nose, scarf and arms off and start re-molding the white clay-like snowman stuff. Soon he is once again tall and proud.....for a little while.

I like our Santa collection but now I love my melting snowman. He makes me smile everyday....and that is helpful as we enter day twelve of no sunshine in Milwaukee!
