Dec 2000: It all started innocently about 3 years ago, with the arrival of 4 tiny snowmen. Somehow, the otherwise unremarkable snowmen assumed personas remarkably similar to Michael, Marc, Matthew, and Thomas. Shortly thereafter they started appearing in interesting configurations, each one somehow seeming to represent the superiority of one character over the others... The saga continues each year at Christmastime. Who knows what they do all summer long??? Here's a small sampling of some of this year's poses.

The snowmen, caught unawares, in one of those rare moments when they're behaving nicely.		Hmmm... It appears that Thomas is in a bit of a pinch...		A closer view of his agony
Ahh, it looks as if young Thomas has risen to the occasion. Or risen FROM the occasion...		A favored aunt arrives,		And the snowmen prostrate themselves in obvious adoration.
Oh my... It appears that "adoration" might have been a bit of an overstatement!		But wait -- she returns ever stronger and shows who's truly the Great One!!		Oh NO... Somehow they recover, and... horrors, is that the ELECTRIC CHAIR???
Ahh yes, the guilty switchmen...		But with a little help from her friends, the Great One melts the opposition.		She TOLD you not to mess with her...
