“He’s laughing behind me, and I urge him to keep up. I don’t want to miss this; it’s my favorite part.
We make it to our friends, and they’ve already started. They are in the town quad, where the gazebo is decorated with beautiful shining lights and giant glittering snowflakes. They’ve chosen their spot among a row of other snowman builders. We make it just in time for the whistle to blow to signal the start.
We lose ourselves, all of us, in the sheer bliss that is this evening. It isn’t long before we have a structure. It’s lopsided and lumpy, much to Niles’s dismay, but Seti insists that the magic is in the accessories.
We don’t win. Someone who clearly has a background in snow sculptures does. Their snowman looks like it’s been carved out of marble, like an actual man. But it doesn’t matter. We all take photos with our misshapen snow person, we have a passerby take a picture with all of us, and we are happy.”
