To be abominable is easy. To be a snowman, however, is not. In fact, in Yeti's case, it was his status as a snowman that accounted for any abominable behavior on his part. For Yeti, you see, simply hated cold weather. He loathed the crisp, fresh whiteness of the fluffy snow which covered the North Pole from year to year. He detested the long, crystalline icicles that glinted beneath the midnight sun all summer long. He utterly despised the feeling of old Jack Frost nipping at his nose.
Yeti was an ungainly ice skater, a hopeless skier, and a hapless hiker. He was therefore unable to participate in any of the typical, vigorous, outdoor activities of the North Pole which kept Santa's elves fit and trim despite the long hours they spent sitting around making toys or reminiscing about the Good Old Days (that long-ago time, now only a dim memory, when there was no such thing as computer games, which are abominably hard for elves to make by hand).
