Frozen Balls and other wintery delights

Although the New Year has already started, it is still winter, and definitely feels like it, with the cold, windy weather we've had lately. So, I shall continue to show holiday decorations that fit with the #wintermas theme!

This bright fellow was found loitering near a street lamp at the Luna Rosa Gelato Cafe in downtown Greenville (SC). I've actually eaten there several years ago, when Luna Rosa was in a different location on Washington Street. Now, they have moved to Main Street, however, and had this jolly guy at the front window. I love the street lamp decoration next to him. If you look closely, the inside of the lamp is filled with stars, which is a cool touch!

I actually walked an entire city block just to get a photo of the snowman in the pic below. I passed him while in the car on the way to the parking spot I chose and wanted to get a closer look at him. This snowman must be a quite old decoration, as it was showing a bit of age in addition to his somewhat vintage appearance. His equine companion is simply adorable and I am glad I walked the block just to see this charming pair up close!

This cute guy is waving at all the passers-by on the sidewalk in downtown Pickens (SC) with a wreath draped on his arm like a bracelet. I like the little details here, such as the snowflakes on his cap and the tree-motif on his jacket.

This adorable little snowman is apparently for-sale, if one were to visit the shop in the daytime, rather than skulking about at night like I was doing. I think he's the cutest little thing!

And, thinking of frozen things, I saw this meme recently and laughed so hard I had tears coming from my eyes, literally...! 😂

To counter all this cold 🥶 I shall end on a warm note with a pic of a delightful little Gingerbread Man, seen smiling at me from another window...
