The snowman

So maybe it is a bit early to be talking about Christmas, but one of my most favourite things ever (not just out of films, but out of everything!) is Raymond Briggs classic The Snowman. I have watched the film every single Christmas for as long as I can remember. I have a lovely memory of my Dad staying up late with me one Christmas eve when everyone else had gone to bed, just so that I could watch it. The year before last I even bought myself a copy of the DVD, just in case it wasnt on TV…

Walking In The Air from The Snowman is one of those songs that I can listen to over and over again. I was happy when I found the album at a thrift store! The very first time I saw The Snowman was many years ago on PBS, and I fell in love with it, as I'm sure many people have. It's such a wonderful, simple story. I haven't been lucky enough yet to find the book by Raymond Briggs. I was delighted that the album had the lyrics to the hauntingly beautiful song by Howard Blake: And some pictures…

It's the best time of year for cuddling up together.
