Frosty the lightbox,
Standing on my neighbor's lawn,
Looking tall and plain,
I like him just the same,
You know one day he'll be gone.

Late Christmas Evening,
When the egg-nog's running low,
Running high on rum,
I'll pull on Frosty's bum,
Into my trunk he will go.

EVERYBODY SING!

Bumpity bump bump,
Bumpity bump bump,
Standing there on the grass,
Bumpity bump bump,
Bumpity bump bump,
I'm gonna steal his ....!

Frosty the lightbox,
Will not be back one day,
In my studio,
With side lights he'll glow,
As on his back he will lay,

In my studioooooo,
With side lights
He'll gloooooowwww.....
As on,
His,
Back,
He,
Will,
LAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY......​.

(brings tears to my eyes to hear you singing along)

Bit early in the season for over doing the egg-nog? :lol:

There's no such thing as a bad photo, just the wrong audience.
EQUIPMENT: Canon Powershot S3 IS, 2x Transcend 2GB x150 SD, 2x 4GB Class 4 Dane-Elec SDHC, LensMate 52mm Adapter Tube and lots of stuff to hang on it.
A couple of flashes and a couple of strobes. My other camera is a Sony DSC-P200.

I've been driving past this thing for two weeks now. Every time I pass it I think "LIGHTBOX LIGHTBOX LIGHTBOX!"

Not running through the egg-nog just yet. It may take me a glass or seven to work up the courage (and ruin my morals) to snag this guy.

I have no spare time. What spare time I have may be dedicated to modifying this snowman into a lightbox. I'm looking at the wire frame of the head. The rear of the snowman is most likely similar in structure. If I bend the back down and the head down (much like closing the top of a box) and then lay the snowman on his back to expose the open base....


... well, I'm sure I'd be disappointed in the result.

However, if I buy the right material and strip out all of the snowman material, I could sew the lightbox myself. I'm actually not bad at sewing simple projects. I have a top-notch Elna that could do the job. The wire frame within the snowman would then make it a collapsable lightbox!

Yeah, I guess I do have too much spare time.

My question is, did you sneak a picture from your Pen camera while on the way to their front door to ask for some sugar?
