It was a simple family gathering. We were dressed up for afternoon drinks and a buffet to get the locals together. Everyone would be greeted by a jolly inflatable snowman that would bring a smile to every adult who first entered and a sense of mischief to every child once they were settled in enough to wander around the room. It wasn’t long before Frosty started tottering on a regular basis; and not because of a constant supply of drink. But once everyone had got bored of the scenery, Frosty wanted revenge. At first, it was harmless photobombing. He’d somehow managed to appear in every picture; and because of his large size no-one thought much of it. As the afternoon wore on; we began to get colder rather than warmer; even though everyone was wearing their Christmas jumpers. When the music started, some people stood up for the dance floor while others raised to get their coats. Then, in in one giant white flash; no-one moved again.
