OK, finally it's winter break and I completely forgot about the secrets of Frosty the Snowman. I believe in Santa so far, and that's all. I got to go play outside and not look back! I got to look forward to no homework, no teachers, no principals or discipline. OK, here's the surprise. So I wake up extra early, my parents don't even know, and I see white crystals, not just snowflakes, crystals that are even bigger than icicles, and they're everywhere, especially on the trees! So I'm about to go outside when something reminds me to stop. A magical moment. It seems as though the snow crystals swirl up into some kind of shape in the air, when a blizzard starts tumbling in for about a second or two. Then, I couldn't believe the coincidence, but Frosty the Snowman appears and flies through the magic swirls, with a great big smile right to me. "You know you have to believe in something, or your life wouldn't have a theme, little girl. I have a big story I want to tell you about myself, and I hope you have some fun with me, because I'm lonely. Remember those kids in my movie? Those were classic times, so those kids were once the only friends I had, but they left me melting in the summer. My soul is still here, though, right? So now my soul is telling me that I'm ready for those battles that snowmen get. It's just a matter of time, before I get friends again, and you have got to believe in me, because since you're now my friend, you can see what I'm going through. I've visited every house with those little kids who don't believe in me, and that number of houses was about 95% of the entire universe. Everyone has a theme, Alexis."

I was baffled, listening to this non sensible snowman talk to me. Maybe this is in all in my head, no it couldn't be. I can hear just fine, and I can hear this 'Frosty' talking to me. But I'm old enough to be a good friend, even though I'm only 9, because I can understand people, and snowmen's problems and I can help them through it. How sad can this snowman get? He must have been going through a lot, even though he can't technically be alive. But he's still a part of our world, because he's here, so he changed my feelings about him. I have empathy for this poor fellow, so I don't care if I ever thought he was fake, because I believe in him now. I could finally talk again, since I've proudly thought this over. I'll be Frosty the Snowman's friend, or his only friend. How sad can that be, having only one friend to be your only hope, when there's only memories in your head behind you? Quite sad. "Well, um, I think my winter break will be way more Christmas-like with you here, and fun, too, so why don't we make snow angels together? Anything that will make you happier will make me happier, and I'm just so sorry for what you've gone through. I've never had any more empathy for anyone before. You changed my belief system and my feelings, Frosty the Snowman, and I appreciate it. I appreciate that I have more Christmas joy to look forward to. Thanks again! So should we make the snow angels?"

The despondent fellow turned into a happy, forgiving, jolly snowman, which is what a real snowman is supposed to be. I'm extremely proud of myself for showing my feelings to my new friend, Frosty. We had some good, funny times today when we played together. We made snow angels, then we made our own game where we build a thick snow mountain, and we push each other into the mountain! That was my favorite part, until mom made us some hot chocolate at 5:00, the end of the day. But that was only the beginning. Frosty told me he had 5 more days to visit me until he had to visit another little kid's house! I will learn and play with this snowman for 5 more days to figure out his life! I want him to be my friend forever!
