Snowpeople?

A memo entitled "Christmas Warning" was recently distributed by the Central Michigan University's affirmative action office. In an effort help people "celebrate Christmas without offense," the office offered the following suggestion:

"Good ideas for decorations during this time are snowflakes, snowpeople, poinsettias to give a feeling of winter."

Have we really reached the point where we can't describe an anthropomorphic pile of snow as a "snowman?"
