Interestingly, the original book wasn't Christmas-oriented, no Christmas tree in the house, no visit to Santa Claus.The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-89511249537861630262016-12-13T06:47:52.877-08:002016-12-13T06:47:52.877-08:00"The Snowman" deserves to be a holiday c..."The Snowman" deserves to be a holiday classic, if it already isn't - when my kids were small we watched it every Christmas (we still love it). The movie captures a magical atmosphere and the unguarded sweetness of childhood - what makes Christmas special. Such wonderful animation, and the score is a major reason this movie is unforgettable. A live musical performance should make for a great Christmas experience.Motorcycle Boynoreply@blogger.com
