Wait, what, is that a shadow of a helicopter?

Now with #Christmas upon us, we were wondering if there's any English equivalent to the wonderful #Finnish word #pötkötys? A 'pötkö' is like a log or anything shaped long and a bit thick. So pötkötys is the perfect word for describing what we do throughout the holiday, under blankets, watching #TheSnowman, with stomachs too full of food and chocolate. Often with #cats joining in on top.

The Snowman

A childhood favorite

The music! The animation! Still delights!

Do Americans watch #TheSnowman at #Christmas? I mean if they don’t, they’re missing out on something truly special.

Continuing my husband’s Snowman initiation tonight with The Snowman and the Snowdog followed by the new Channel 4 documentary about The Snowman phenomenon. I was an emotional wreck within the opening seconds of the Snowdog film! Loving the Howard Blake bits in the documentary.

Introducing my husband to the David Bowie introduced version of The Snowman, thanks to Channel 4 showing it tonight. He didn’t grow up with a TV at home, so didn’t know this animation as a child like me. We’ve also recorded the Snowman documentary and will be watching the Snowdog animation another time. P.S. He does of course know the famous tune, its video and the two Irn Bru adverts based on it. https://youtu.be/4yZOab5gl-4
