Pavel Polák, Michal Pavlík - Christmas of the Three Snowman
A joyful preparation of a Christmas feast and a fairytale present.
“Once upon a time in a small town at the end of the street there stood a snowman. He was made of three snowballs, he had a pot instead of a cap and in his face there were a carrot stick and coal pieces. He stood there with his head slightly bowed listening to the silent tones of Christmas carols ringing in his metal ear. The delicate snowflakes kept falling… It was Christmas Eve”. So begins the fairytale of the Three Snowmen. Before it commences however, the preparation works must be completed for the Christmas dinner behind the heavenly gate watched over by St. Peter. The jolly little angles have some trouble getting everything ready especially as they are distracted by a curious devil who befriended the angels last Christmas…
