I got these cute dresses for myself and my girls that match and are kind of "princess snowflake" look. The one my size is too "costumy" to wear normally, was thinking of maybe for purim, but not sure what my boys would wear. Any ideas? Connection to Purim?

I wrote this poem a few years ago and posted it here on imamother. People have used it for Eskimo and winter themes.

You can switch it up and play around with it .

Long ago, there was a wicked man
Who had a heart "ice cold".
He was the worst rasha ever
So we are told.

He terrorized Jews who wouldn’t bow
And his threats made them "shiver".
Whenever his name was mentioned
They would tremble and quiver.

Whenever Haman passed by,
The Jews would instantly "freeze".
Their fear was so strong
They were afraid to even sneeze.

But when bad things happen
The yidden don't "chill".
They turn to Hashem with tefilla
Their voices piercingly shrill.

They "storm"ed the heavens,
They prayed and fasted;
How much longer
Could they have lasted?

Hashem brought a big nes
And showed this "snowflake"
That there is only so much
His precious children can take.

Haman's plans "blew" up
And his status did "melt".
There was a v'nahapachu
Throughout the yiddishe velt.

That's why today we wish
A Happy Purim to young and old.
We celebrate the happiest day
Despite the “freezing” "cold".

So no matter what today brings,
No matter the "weather",
The _____family , want to wish you
The "COOLEST” PURIM ever!
