Geocache Description:



Frosty is the title character in the beloved Christmas song "Frosty the Snowman", and a featured character of multiple Christmas stories, most notably a few Rankin/Bass specials.

Frosty was built by a group of kids, including Karen, during a break from school. The wind blows the hat of Professor Hinkle onto Frosty's head, and suddenly the snowman comes to life, with a cheerful "Happy Birthday!" Frosty is good-natured and playful, but also somewhat naive due to his relative youth (having just been "born"). He is unable to count above five and is the world's fastest belly-whopper.

Frosty has two physical weaknesses: the tendency to melt in warm weather, and the hat, without which he becomes another inanimate snowman. In the first Frosty the Snowman special, these worries are easily remedied: Professor Hinkle's attempts to retrieve the hat are foiled, and Santa Claus revives the melted Frosty, and takes him to the North Pole.

A stop-motion version of Frosty appears in Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July. By now, he and Crystal have two snow children, Chilly and Milly. In this production, Frosty is the best friend of Rudolph, who serves as adoptive uncle to the children. Frosty accompanies Rudolph to an unnamed American town in the summer, protected by the evil Winterbolt's amulet. The pair generally enjoy their time performing with Lilly Loraine's circus. When Rudolph is framed for a crime he didn't commit, Frosty comes to his friend's aide, offering to sacrifice his life in exchange for helping Rudolph and protecting his family. Winterbolt betrays him, but Rudolph is able to retrieve the hat. To celebrate, Frosty and Rudolph sing a variation of "We're a Couple of Misfits" (from the original Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer special). The Frosty family eventually does melt, but is brought back to life by Jack Frost, and they return to the North Pole with Santa.

A parody of the Rankin/Bass Frosty makes a brief cameo in "A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas", where he is quickly burned and melted by an irate Lois Griffin.

This is a quick and simple cache. This should be an easy one unless there is lots of snow before it gets found, then you might have to dig it out. Swag for the kids.
