About Christmas - The Snowman
The snowman, a symbol of winter joy and creativity, has a rich history dating back to medieval times when abundant snow inspired artistic expression. From appearing on early postcards and silent films in the 1800s to the renowned Italian artist Michelangelo sculpting a snowman in 1494, the tradition evolved. Notably, the "Miracle of 1511" in Brussels showcased over 100 snowmen as a form of social commentary during unrest. Today, snowmen are cultural icons, featured in songs and films like "Frosty the Snowman" and "Frozen," continuing to enchant generations and embody both history and holiday magic.
