Victor Herbert - "March of the Toys (from Babes In Toyland)"

Now the original 1903 production I may have never seen, but the 1961 Disney Remake was a holiday staple. While the lyrics and plot changed quite a bit, the original score and many of the original songs were used. It starred Frankie & Annette, Ray Bolger, and Ed Wynn; how could you not love this schmaltzy goodness?

This one ranks right up there with the nutcracker for me, as far as animated holiday toy stories goes. 

So today, with humor and nostalgia, I choose Victor Herbert's "March of the Toys" from Babes In Toyland as my, find the magic every day, look to the small sparkles, little bursts of light, song for a, change your own opinion, alter your own fate, take your own life in your hands and leap, Tuesday.
