If someone voted to turn the heat up, there's a group that is not very happy about it!
While they talk amongst themselves and plot their strategy, those in charge better listen or we'll have some very upset little snow people!
                               
What else do you think they could be upset about?  Maybe they're just caroling & are cold...

Once awake, grandpa sniffles and says, "This room stinks!"  Then he goes out into the kitchen and says, "It stinks in here too!" Finally he goes outside to get some fresh air and declares, "Whoa, the whole world stinks!"
If we relate this story to our attitudes and the way we wake up to approach … (24 comments)
