(Post 1) Greetings 2-2 Walking in the air (Post 2) I dreamed a dream

When I was small, I thought this was a sad story and nearly cried because the Snowman melted finally ... 

However, the most important is that the Snowman is always in my mind as the best memories every Christmas. 

Just think of all the happy times we spent with our beloved ...

Ho ... Ho ... Ho ...

Introduction: The Snowman

The animated short film "The Snowman" was a huge success when it first appeared on Channel 4  in Britain in 1982 based on the book by Raymond Briggs.

 

The film's success was helped by its original orchestral score by Howard Blake. Although young Welsh choirboy Aled Jones launched an unlikely career on the back of the memorable 'Walking in the Air', the performance for the film itself was recorded by Peter Auty. Briggs's book avoided speech, and the film likewise relies on its images and music to move the story on, with occasional sound effects when characters interact with objects, like the bells on a Christmas tree, or a motorbike. Music is the voice of the film, enhancing the story where dialogue might dilute the magic.

 

Sweet and perhaps old-fashioned, The Snowman taps into the magical spirit of Christmas, and now seems almost as much a part of the season as sherry and mince pies.

It seems an eternity before dreams come true...

However, in the world, they still come true every moment.  Cheer up, and your perseverance will make it reality.
