Watching the holiday cartoons was a fun tradition when I was growing up. I was excited this year to be able to sit down and watch some of them with Olivia. We didn't get to watch "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" because it was on at 8:30 (past bedtime) on a school night. But, we did get to watch "Frosty the Snowman". 
It was fun watching the kids make Frosty and see him come to life when they put the magicians hat on his head. We watched them sing songs and dance around. It was even fun to watch Frosty and Karen in their adventure to get Frosty to the north pole. That is until the greenhouse scene. Do you remember what happened to Frosty?

It was even fun to watch Frosty and Karen in their adventure to get Frosty to the north pole. That is until the greenhouse scene. Do you remember what happened to Frosty? Poor Karen was sooo cold that she was shivering uncontrollably. The camp fire the animals made was extinguished by the Professor Hinkle (the evil magician) in his quest to get his hat back once he realized there was some magic in it. Frosty looked and looked for some place warm for Karen and finally found the greenhouse. He took Karen inside the greenhouse to try and warm her up. Professor Hinkle closed the door so Frosty could not get out and you know what happened.
When they showed the scene where Karen was on her knees with her face in her hands sobbing over a puddle of water (yes, melted Frosty), Olivia fell apart! She started to cry just like Karen because Frosty melted away. Half the fun of watching the kids Christmas specials is seeing Olivia's reaction to them but we didn't expect the reaction we got. Of course we calmed her down and got her to keep watching so she could see Santa make it all better. It's a good thing that Frosty was made of Christmas snow because Christmas snow never really melts away.
