snowmen are great fun at <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/100-festive-christmas-facts%5C/%5C%22">Christmas but let&rsquo;s go a little deeper than that.\n<p>Let us start with a little bit of background into where the tradition originated.\n</p><p>Throughout history, we have associated the seasons and times of the year with personifications.\n</p><p>The winter season in Greek Mythology would have been referred to as \u201cOld Man Winter\u201d and across other cultures, there are similar representations.\n</p><p>Jack Frost was one of the first personifications of winter that was written about across literature in the late 19<sup>th Century.\n<p>This is believed to be the reason behind the construction of the snowman.\n</p><p>The snowman is another form of Old Man Winter and the tradition of building one has been around for hundreds of years.\n</p><p>This character of Old Man Winter was said to leave a frosty air in his presence and be a cold and fierce character, much like the harshness that winter brings.\n</p><p>Many of these personalities and traits have fed into our representation of snowmen and this is where his sometimes scary and fierce characteristics come from.\n</p><h2>Why a carrot for a nose?\n</h2><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-206063

srcset='\"https:\/\/www.factstoryhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/why-carrot-for-snowman-nose-why.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'>\n</p><p>Using a carrot for a snowman\u2019s nose is a global tradition when it comes to constructing a snowman.\n</p><p>It is unsure why this is a common trend and there are many theories that suggest why we automatically use this vegetable.\n</p><p>Some of the earliest depictions of snowmen date back as far as the 1300s and they show snowmen with long pointed noses.\n</p><p>It could be that the carrot was used to emphasize this feature of snowmen.\n</p><p>They were represented as fierce and cold characters, so a pointy nose was a common way of making them appear harsh.\n</p><p>Much like we associate witches with a hooked or pointed nose, it was important for a snowman to carry these defined characteristics.\n</p><p>Other objects have been used throughout history for a snowman\u2019s nose, things such as buttons and coal but the carrot is the most iconic item to use.\n</p><p>Traditionally a snowman would have coal for <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/amazing-eye-facts%5C/%5C%22">eyes and small pieces of coal to make a mouth.\n<p>The nose however would have been made from whatever resources were around at the time.\n</p><h2>Who was the first snowman with a carrot nose?\n</h2><p><img loading='\"lazy\"'

a carrot for a nose featured in the German animation \u201cDer Schneemann\u201d, which was created in 1943.\n</p><p>In English, \u201cDer Schneemann\u201d, is known as &ldquo;The Snowman&rdquo; or &ldquo;Snowman in July&rdquo;.\n</p><p>This was one of the first representations of a snowman being na\u00efve and that made the audience feel sorry for him.\n</p><p>Throughout history, snowmen were associated with harsh winters and strength, but this was when snowmen started to become adored cartoon characters.\n</p><p>This suggests that the tradition originated in Europe and possibly more specifically Germany, as there had not been depictions of a snowman with a carrot nose before this time.\n</p><p>Characters that win the hearts of the viewers will then often be represented in their lives, and this could have been the start of the tradition of using a carrot for a nose.\n</p><blockquote>\n<h2>What did one snowman say to the other?\n</h2><p>Smells like carrots!\n</p><h2>Where do

solve this mystery is looking at where carrots originate.\n</p><p>The orange carrots we use on snowmen today were specially cultivated in the Netherlands in the 16<sup>th Century.\n<p>The myth and legend suggest that orange carrots were specifically bred by the Dutch in honor of King William I, also known as William of Orange.\n</p><p>Although there is not a large amount of evidence to suggest this story is true, it could have been one of the catalysts for growing <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/color-orange-facts%5C/%5C%22">orange carrots in Europe.\n<p>Hence meaning they were widely available and a common vegetable found in the home.\n</p><p>This would have meant that alongside coal and a scarf, a carrot became a normal household item to use when building a snowman.\n</p><h2>What was used for a snowman\u2019s nose before?\n</h2><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-206067

of a snowman is written about in Bob Eckstein\u2019s <em>The History of the Snowman&nbsp;(<a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/year%5C/2007%5C/%5C%22">2007).\n<p>Eckstein found the drawing in a 15th-century book called \u201cThe Book of Hours\u201d, which he found in the Koninklijke Bibliotheek (library) in The Hague, Netherlands.\n</p><p>This doodle of a snowman showed a white rounded figure with a pointed nose.\n</p><p>It is seen from this drawing that a snowman has a universal shape of being constructed from gathering <a href="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/www.factstoryhub.com%5C/snow-facts%5C/%5C%22">snow and forming it into circular shapes with a pointed nose.\n<p>It would have been common to use an icicle for a snowman nose, as they are pointed and seasonal.\n</p><p>However, icicles would have likely melted quicker than the snowman itself.\n</p><p>Other common items used for snowmen\u2019s noses were buttons, as seen on 1982 animation, <em>The Snowman.\n<h2>In Conclusion\n</h2><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-206955
