One special trait among the Merry-Christmas Village snowmen is that
they all carry a red whistle. These whistles are hand-made in the Elfin
Musical Toy Shop, and when these snowmen blow their whistles the sounds
turn into wonderful Christmas melodies. These whistles are like a
chorus of finely tuned pipes. No matter how many whistles are blowing at
one time they are all in harmony. On a very still winter night,
Eskimos of the Arctic tell of hearing these magical melodies.
There have been reports as far south as Mexico of hearing these tunes at
night!
Christmas Village Snowmen are always having friendly competitions. They love to form
snowmen teams and try all sorts of sporting games. They even make
their own games when playing with the North Pole wildlife. These are crazy games
and they give them goofy names such as Dress Up The Polar Bears - In Pink,
Penguin Splooshing, and even Reindeer Clogging. One
of the snowmen's most favorite sports is racing. They even have formed an
association called NASSCCAR (Northern Alliance of Silly Snowmen in
Crazy Contraption Racing). Often, you will find snowmen taking any
kind of objects and making them into racing cars. There have been
parking meter boats, typewriter sailboats, step ladder luges, even
refrigerator styled pogo stick races. However, there is a yearly tradition
that everyone looks forward to - the TAGNOPOTOR! - The Annual Great North Pole
Toboggan Race.
