I used to watch this movie around Christmas when I was a little girl and it hasn't left my mind since. It's one of those simple, pure stories with a poignant theme song and an endearing main character. A little bit of magic, a lot of soul, and a lesson in loyalty and kindness, topped with a satisfying ending.
As a child, I was fascinated by Brother January, his long beard, and his wisdom. When I rewatched the movie today, I still had goosebumps whenever he appeared.
The Snowman is my Christmas tradition and from now on I will make Twelve Months my end of the year tradition.
