Haven't seen a thread on this yet.

Where The Wind Blows is somehow appropriate at the moment.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

Sad news.

The Snowman is as Xmas as Slade, Stylaphones and The Wizard of Oz for a certain generation.

Father Cristmas goes on holiday is the sequel. They almalgamated both stories into the animated film, that featured the excellent Mel Smith as the curmudgeonly Father Christmas.

The Father Christmas stories were a huge part of my childhood. My younger sister and I loved the illustrations to these books, especially as some of them showed FC sitting on the toilet or has pyjamas blown down, revealing his backside.
My kids now adore them too and both have to be read in the run up to Christmas, while everything stops for animated film on Christmas eve.
A while ago there was an animated telling of his life story.
It was beautifully touching.

"Ethel and Ernest" was shown a couple of years ago - a superb animated autobiography.

Cheers for the memory jogger.
