Long Time No Write...

I'll be posting the playlist from my Best of 2007 Show in a wee while (the Spice Girls reunion notably absent...) but as a placeholder, here is the greatest animated Christmas film ever made, in its entirety (until it gets taken down) -- have a hankie handy for Raymond Briggs' "The Snowman"

Viewer's guide:

1) Skip the live-action opening (1 minute or so)
2) Pardon themiddling quality of the recording itself
3) Imagine me, aged 5 (or 6, or 7, or 8...) sitting curled up in front of the TV on Xmas eve with a mug of hot cocoa.
4) Dig that irrepressibly downbeat ending...
