If you have seen the excellent animation and story of the essential Christmas cartoon, The Snowman, then good news, this is another good Raymond Briggs book turned to cartoon. This is an idea of what Father Christmas is like when he is not delivering, and when he is. Father Christmas is a nice man, but just a bit grumpy and always saying "bloomin'" before nearly every word. He decides to go on a long vacation first to France, then Scotland and ending in a long enjoyable Las Vegas with his two reindeer. When he gets back his house is piled with at least a million Christmas cards, and more come every day. Then the story moves to him delivering the year's presents for Christmas. Mel Smith voicing our favourite Christmas icon is just perfect. Very good!
