|||||
___________________________________________________________________
Father Christmas needs some time off, but where will he go for his bloomin' holidays? - His reindeer take him to France, Scotland, and finally, Las Vegas... A sequel, of course, to Briggs' hugely-successful 'Father Christmas'. Just like before, Santa is depicted as a rumbuctious loveable old rogue. And like before dialogue is minimal, restricted in the main to Santa's 'bloomin' expletives. ![]() Trivia Hounds may note, when FC is in Scotland he's tempted by the delights on offer at a butcher's called Hamish McHamilton - an obvious reference to Briggs' longtime publisher... Briggs' 'Father Christmas' books were adapted into an animated film by TVC in 1991 with Mel Smith providing Santa's bloomin' voice...
