The River The River is a notable body of water in " Emmet Otter ' s Jug - Band Christmas " . The river serves as the main means of transportation and connects the neighboring hamlets of Frogtown Hollow and Waterville . Residents of the area use the river to row into the town , and the nautical travelers often ward off the chill with a traditional " keeping warm while you ' re rowing song " ( such as " There Ain ' t No Hole in the Washtub " ) . In the colder months , residents will walk the frozen river , and ice sliding and skating are popular recreational activity . Birds , ducks and doctors are common sights along the banks , and one can often see townspeople fishing , boating and singing . The dock , owned by Gretchen Fox , is one of many places that connect the river to the mainland . No record exists of someone falling off of the dock ; with regards to its owner , however , tumbling into the waters has been publicly declared as a consummation devoutly to be wished . ( This statement has since been stricken from the record in certain DVD releases ) . The river ' s role as a waterway , local landmark , and source of seafood makes it an indispensible part of daily life for the two communities . As a result , the river takes on a symbolic significance in local belief systems as well . As exemplified by the hymn " When the River Meets the Sea , " the river and its eventual joining with the wider sea is used as a theological metaphor for the reward to come in another life . Behind the scenes . In the Behind the Scenes in Frogtown Hollow documentary , Michael K . Frith stated that " the center of this little town , the Otter ' s world and the world all of their friends inhabit , really is the river . " The sets ( designed by William Beeton ) , including the large 50 - foot river , were all raised above the studio floor to allow puppeteers to operate below . Radio and marionette controlled ducks populated the water . For long shots of The Honkey Dory , an elaborate radio control boat was used that actually worked on the water .
