Oh Glorious HogFather... for hogswatch I want...

I remember it quite well : Jarrod and I headed into the local library in search of books to stimulate our minds, obviously being who we were, the first stop was the sci fi and fantasy sections. I managed to come upon the discworld series. Let me just tell you if you ever get a chance pick up the color of magic.. you too will be hooked. I once watched the movie and it was good but like all movies based on books " you never judge a book by it's movie."
It's been years since I first discovered Terry Pratchett's most amazing book series, and it wasn't until recently that I found out through the wonderful source of a geeky roommate that they made one of his books, "The Hogfather" into a movie. Needless to say as soon as I even heard of it. I made it a point to put it on my list as a must see before I die movie. For Christmas movies, to me. This one ranks just below the Nightmare before Christmas and just above A Christmas Story. It is a must have, and finally after months and months. I now own the Dvd version of The Hog Father"...and just in time for Hogswatch :)
