Just a reminder that The Snowman is on Channel 4 at 3pm. I'm crying already!
I will be recording it. Another tradition of mine is always to listen to the Festive of Nine Lessons and Carols on Radio 4 at 3pm. Can't miss either at any Christmas.

This is a dilemma of mine. I may wait for the TV broadcast of the Carols (blasphemy I know!)
Me and my mum LOVE the snowman. My mum collects all little bits and pieces she can find from it.
Does anyone also remember a lovely little 25min adaptation back in 2003 called 'a small miracle'? it was based on a book by Peter Collington and it's about a beggar woman who has no money, food etc and the nativity comes to life and helps her? it was so nice, i managed to get the video in the end. Such lovely stories, i also like father christmas too!
Call it a second childhood(I am 36), but I am the same.
This month, I have bought the cassette tape and book from a charity shop (50p and 10p) and today bought the DVD Special Edition from Zavvi for £2.99.
I do/will always enjoy it myself, but The Snowman is one classic I want to pass on to my children/grandchildren, so I have bought the above items, and will keep them until such times arise.
ayrshire man, that is exactly what my mother did, she brought bits from charity shops, in fact, i think we have like four different snowman videos. The one in the blue box type case, a normal one with the proud snowman on the cover, and a few others.
Also, last year, my mum brought me the snowman and father christmas on dvd. I don't know if anyone knows but in covent garden in london there was a shop called the beatrix potter shop, and in xmas 04 i want there and they were selling snowman memoribilia and i brought a snowman shaker, placements, coasters, a fluffy big snowman toy and a snowman orniment, the whole lot wasn't far off of £50, but it was worth it if you love it like my family does. Well me and my mum anyway. I loved the snowman's opening today with father christmas, i think that one is on the dvd i have.
I just gave my mum an early little xmas pressie. and i mean it was little, it was a little mini m+s cake with the snowman's face at the top in a lovely snowman animated box, she loves it. She isn't going to eat it! lol

Thanks for that, will watch.Does anyone know if the father christmas and Grandad one is on too?
I am a tad older than you:p I love the Grandad one it never fails to make me cry
To me it wouldn't be Christmas without a showing of this film!
Christmas wouldn't be the same without it!!

We have the DVD with both shows on, but its still nice to have it on TV, this time of year - and think it was shown christmas morning last year.
Our 5 year old likes both, but prefers 'Father Christmas'.

Father Christmas is underrated compared to The Snowman but it's still a Christmas classic and it's really a shame it's been missed out this year.
I'll be watching The Snowman though. It's not Christmas without it.
