A Winter Straw Ride

Do they still have hay rides? They did when I was a child, sixty or so years ago, particularly during the summer. You'd climb into a horse-drawn wagon cushioned with -- unsurprisingly -- hay, and head out on a balmy summer night. Here we witness the wintertime equivalent, with a sleigh and adults going out, throwing snow balls, and generally having the sort of good time we had as children, all ending in a chase down a country road and over the snow-covered countryside.

It's a very pleasant movie, and the performers are warmly dressed and look as if they are having a good time. I hope they did.
