I enjoyed reading your responses, Martin. The Snowman is so lovely... all action, no words, and such beautiful music. It is certainly a sweet story. I have an official stuffed snowman from the cartoon, & he has the green hat and everything! Due to my love of Christmas, it was such a thoughtful gift, that I still treasure!
ReplyDeleteI also agree with your assessment that family shows are what we need at Christmas! :)
I too love The Snowman. Glad it got mentioned in this blogathon. I also connected with your preference for the opening music to Christmas Vacation. Hearing the intro music to a favorite movie is always a feel-good cue. That's so true. Thanks for participating, Martin.
ReplyDeleteI need to rewatch The Snowman this year!
