Father Christmas is a 1991 animated short based on two books written by Raymond Briggs: Father Christmas and Father Christmas Goes on Holiday, published in 1973 and 1975 respectively. It was first aired in Britain in 1991 on Channel 4, nine years after The Snowman, another animated Briggs adaptation produced for the same channel. This movie was dedicated to the late actor John McGuire.
Father Christmas is voiced by comedian Mel Smith, and physically resembles a stereotypical vision of Santa Claus with a large white beard and red suit. However, in a down-to-earth twist, he is depicted as rather grumpy, is shown coping with everyday domestic chores, and lives on his own in a small house in contemporary Britain.

I am going to tell you about one of the most exciting adventure in my life. To tell the truth, i am crazy about traveling. If i have a possibility, i cant help but travel. Last summer i was in New York, if i am not mistake, NY city is located in the north of the USA. I visited a lot of beautiful sights. One of them is The Bronx Zoo which is situated in the south of the city. This zoo is famous for different things. For example, the cages are opened there. Animals can walk around their own territory. And of course it is not dangerous for people, who visit this place because it is surrounded by bars. There are many kinds of animals and they are fed by natural food. In short, i visited different museums, cinema, The Empire State Building( это самое высокое здание в Нью Йорке), but unfortunately, i could not visit just one place which is called The Central Park, when i found myself there it was closed. But in general my trip was fantastic!
