It is known that snowmen were being made in the early 16th century.e<\/sup> century in England, and that it was only in the 19the<\/sup> si\u00e8cle que le sympathique bonhomme fut associ\u00e9 aux symboles entourant Christmas<\/a>. Cette coutume se retrouve encore dans tout l\u2019Occident et l\u2019h\u00e9misph\u00e8re Nord.<\/p>\n

Initially, the snowman consisted of three balls, the smallest of which represented the head. Pieces of coal or small pebbles were used for the features. Over time, he was given a carrot for a nose, small marbles for a mouth, large black buttons on his stomach, a hat, and a scarf. Some even added "arms" by inserting branches into the middle ball.<\/p>\n

In Japan<\/strong>, instead of a hat, an upside-down bucket is placed on the snowman's head. This one is called "Yuki Daruma" which means 'snow figure'.<\/p>\n

In Lithuania<\/strong>, the snowman is associated with the idea of a brainless man. So, in the winter of 2005, residents erected 141 snowmen in front of their Parliament\u2026one per MP.<\/p>\n

In Bavaria<\/strong>In 2001, a huge snowman was built, looking like a giant.<\/p>\n
