Raymond Briggs is an incredible British writer and he has these amazing Christmas stories that are animated on film
I start out my holiday season always with this one first and we watch it several times.
Father Christmas is a delightful tale of what Father Christmas does on his time off.
The Bear tells how a baby Polar Bear gets lost, ends up in and zoo and meets a little girl who takes him in and hides him from her parents.
The Snowman is the story of a boy who builds a snowman that comes to life and they have a wonderful adventure.
If you cannot find the dvd's get the books they are a wonderful tradition to start with your children. In this time of 3D animation these sweet movies are beautiful and refreshing.
The stories sound lovely, especially the one about the bear getting lost and the animated snowman. I just read the Black Snowman by Phil Mendez and I really enjoyed the focus on tradition.
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet shows. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteI love "The Snowman"! That is how I found the beautiful song "Walking in the Air". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1qms9N6gDs
ReplyDeleteI remember watching "The Snowman" when my kids were little and just the other day I think I saw it at Walmart...will have to go back and pick it up. Following you. Diane
