Yes, it's that time of year again -- the time when snow falls from the sky and you have to do something constructive with it. Plus, with Frosty airing tonight on CBS (check your local listings), what better time to start planning for your very own snowman? Here are some Heartless Doll tips for what to do -- and what not to do -- to the creature you create out of snow:
GOOD IDEAS
5. Give the guy a hat.
It's cold out there. Your snowman deserves some warm clothing. A coat might be a bit much, but with an adorable hat, scarf, and glove combination, you can never go wrong.
4. Use vegetables for facial features.
Everyone knows the old standby of a carrot for a nose, but you can also get creative with baby carrots for eyebrows, cauliflower for ears, or an eggplant for a big old mouth. Now just cross your finger the squirrels won't land on that mouth and eat it.
3. Get creative with body shape.
Just because you're making a snowman doesn't mean he has to be made up of three, boring balls. Give him a potbelly, or a hunchback, or something that'll weird out the neighbors. Ooh, better yet, make him lean over and give him a cane.
2. Put him in the shade.
Picking a shady spot for your snowman may mean he's less visible for passing, admiring children, but he'll also live a lot longer. There's nothing sadder than coming out to check on your creation, only to find his face slowly melting away.
1. Make snow women!
Too long have men dominated this wintery art. Slap some boobs and some hips on your snowman and voila! -- sex change.

Give all the advice you want, but nobody will ever top Calvin's various snowmen from the Calvin and Hobbes strip. NOBODY.
