I started rolling the snow and it was a little like rolling it for the first time. When I finally made it big enough, I was really confused as to how not spherical it was. But then something happened in my brain and I began shaving off the rough parts with my bemittened palms, then scored the top with my unbemittened fingertips so the balls would fit together.

Christmas, it ain't so bad this year.
