It's been my custom for the last couple of years to not pull out The Snow People until Christmas is over. The Wise Men and Shepherds give a nod to The Snow People during the transition. To have them ALL on display during December made for crowded conditions and a possible dilution of the real reason for Christmas.

It was a good decision on my part because we disposed of some furniture when we moved from Colorado to Florida six months ago and that means we have fewer staging areas for my seasonal characters.
I had some worries that the frozen few would melt in this new climate, however [this year, anyway] that proved to be a groundless concern. The "bomb cyclone" that has spread its icy influence on so much of our nation included northeast Florida, much to the delight of The Snow People and dismay for this one who loves her flip flops!
We have become well-acquainted with the warming ability of our heat pump (give me a hard-blowing gas furnace, PLEASE), dug into the back of our closets to pull out winter clothes we were reserving for visits to family in the mid-west, and put an extra blanket on the bed. This is not what we expected when we moved here, but the natives assure us the current weather is very unusual.
We have one more expectation that I hope will be fulfilled: winters are short here. We shall see ...
