what is the origin of the snowman?

Answer 1

There is not snowman and it is only an imaginary figure and what all we hear are stories.

A snowman is a man-like figure constructed from compacted snow. The image of a snowman is popularly connected with Christmas and is embedded in Western culture. Building a snowman is a popular winter recreation for children.

A snowman can be constructed by rolling a large ball of snow for its body. A second (and often a third), smaller ball is placed on top, as its head. Facial features, such as eyes and a mouth, are added using coal, small stones, or buttons. A nose may be added, using a piece of fruit or a vegetable, such as a carrot; sticks are sometimes added as arms. Snowmen are often depicted with a pipe and a hat.

In the United Kingdom, snowmen commonly are built with two balls of snow, whereas in the United States the 'three-ball method,' as shown in the photograph on the right is much more popular.

In Lithuania, a snowman is called "a man without brains." As a sign of protest against their government, in the winter of 2005, Lithuanians made 141 snowmen near their parliament—one for each member of Parliament. Japanese snowmen, or snow daruma, usually consist of two, instead of three, snowballs. Twigs are used for arms, pieces of charcoal are used for facial features, and a bucket is used for a hat.

Answer 2

Once upon a time a little boy was making snow angels. He got bored so he rolled up a big snowball. Then he rolled another snowball. But since the first took long to roll he made this a bit smaller. He placed this one on top of the first. Then rolled another. Again this one was a bit smaller. He placed the third on top of the second. He looked at it and decided to add another to his stack of snowballs. He rolled a fourth ball. But couldn't reach high enough to place it on top the others. So he sat and stared. Then he decided to draw a face on the last ball. So he did. Then he stuck sticks in the sides of the second ball for arms. Then he decided that it was a snowman. And now I realise that I am extremely bored. (cant u tell)
