Frosty the snowman ornament?

Hi thedude,

Frosty the Snowman “Frosty the Snowman” is a popular Christmas song written by Steve “Jack” Rollins and Steve Nelson in 1950. It was written after Gene Autry recorded “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and the single sold 2 million copies. Rollins and Nelson shipped the new song to Autry, who recorded “Frosty” in search of another seasonal hit. Like “Rudolph”, “Frosty” was subsequently adapted to other media including a popular television special.

The original song The song is about a snowman who came to life thanks to a magical hat some children found; he then had playful adventures before he “hurried on his way”. It has been covered by many artists over the years, including Nat King Cole, Ray Conniff, the Cocteau Twins, the Beach Boys, and countless other musical acts.

In 1954, the UPA studio brought “Frosty” to life in a three-minute animated short which appeared regularly on WGN-TV. This production included a bouncy, jazzy version of the song. It has been a perennial WGN-TV Christmas classic, and was most recently broadcast on December 24 and 25, 2005, as part of a WGN-TV children’s programming retrospective, along with their two other short Christmas classics, “Suzy Snowflake” and “Hardrock, Coco and Joe”. What I found…interesting eh! Sue
