Ah, winter can be a magical time - just ask Karen. You see, she and the other children were playing out in the first snow of the season (which just happened to fall on the day before Christmas) and so they soon decided to build a snowman. As they built it, they used a corncob pipe, a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal. They then used a hat from Professor Hinkle, a professor moonlighting as a (very bad) magician to place on his head. When they did..well, something magical happened.
Normally, as an adult, when it comes to movies I would prefer something with a little more substance and depth to it. However, there's just something about this Christmas classic that manages to me into the Christmas spirit every time. I've always loved the Christmas season to begin with, and watching this classic every year has become somewhat of a tradition. I always try to catch it when it's on TV during this time of year. I wish there were more like this one that I could consider classic, but these days there's not really anything that quite captures the feeling that Frosty does. If you haven't seen Frosty the Snowman (1969), well then you're missing out on a truly wonderful - and simply magical - classic.
