Aluminum Snowman
This little guy was a yard sale treasure for $2 USD. The aluminum snowman is painted and the paint is perfect, no chips, with a sheen too.
I thought it would look great in the yard but my wife insisted that he would fit well in our living room next to the tree. Of course, she is the idea person in the family. I agree with her now, and think this little snow guy will be a permanent addition to our meager Christmas decorations each year.
We have really cut down on decorating since all the kids are grown and gone. Grandchildren are just happy to see that we still put up a tree, even though it is only about three feet tall, artificial, and with the lights already attached so all we do is pull it out of the box and plug it in!
No more “stuff” sitting all over the house that needs to be put away after the holidays. In fact, we have a big box (five feet tall) FULL of Christmas decorations from years past. You know, the manger set, the mom and pop santas, the garlands, the figurines. All kinds of stuff. I think this next year I will take photos of all the stuff and then see what the kids would like to take off our hands. The remainder will go to Goodwill.
Merry Christmas to all.
