Christmas Crafts ~ Wooden Snowmen

What is the collective noun for a group of Snowmen?  I have no idea, but they certainly look really jolly all dressed up in their winter finery.
The wooden snowmen, will of course not melt.  They have been created by Bodrighy.

Christmas Trivia ~ Xmas?

As a child, I remember being shocked to see the word Xmas representing Christmas.  I don't ever remember being told, but always felt like the use of the X was crossing out Jesus.  It is only in later years that I have been informed as to the reason for this:
The X is representative of the Greek first letter of the name Christ.
 The first letter of the Greek word Christos is transliterated into our alphabet as an X.  That X has come through church history to be a shorthand symbol for the name of Christ.
