When I was a kid everyone watched WPIX Channel 11 on Christmas Day. It always started with a Christmas parade. It ended with the Yule log. They basically filmed a fireplace and played Christmas Carols that you had on in the background while you opened your presents. But in between we had a beloved tradition.
The March of the Wooden Soldiers.
They played the old Laurel and Hardy movie every year. Some people say that the best Christmas movie is “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Other people say it is “Die Hard.”
To me the quintessential Christmas movie is “The March of the Wooden Soldiers.”
It has everything. Comedy. Tragedy. Fat and Skinny. Even Little Bo Peep.
Enjoy!

Talk about a movie ahead of it's time. Spoiler Alert! Stan gets same sex married half way through the film. I popped in the blu-ray and watched today. Very entertaining for an 80+ year old film. It was colorized so bonus points for pissing off the "cinema" mavens.
Merry Christmas Blogger Bud!
