An endearingly popular animated Christmas tale from the children's author Raymond Briggs. Father Christmas (voiced by Mel Smith) is a rather grumpy old soul who just wants a quiet holiday away from it all. Unfortunately, everywhere he goes he is recognised by a small child. When the holiday is over, it's back to the grindstone, and he's off on his whirlwind Christmas Eve delivery tour.
This is a magical and special animation that I watch with my family at Christmas. :) xx
