Many decorations on our tree have a story. This is the legless Irish snowman (though I suppose all snowmen are legless, this one is just more legless than most). Returning from a project in Ireland some years ago, I saw him at Dublin airport, with his feet nowhere to be seen. There were able-bodied snowmen available in the shop, but I thought that this one would end up in the bin if I didn't help out. The cashier was equally full of Christmas spirit, and not only didn't charge me, but also wrapped him up beautifully.
