Nutcracker Video

Jeanne
Point your Web browser to http://www.aclibrary.org/index2.html and run a search on "Nutcracker." You will find several hits. You can request holds on books, videos, etc and the library system will call you when it is in. Our family uses this library system a lot and we love it! You will probably find copies of Nutcracker videos at your local video store.

A cursory search of familywonder.com yielded about 10 hits for the nutcracker and many more with reviews at amazon.com.

We prefer the classic interpretation by the Bolshoi Ballet, or, if your children are old enough to cope with a somewhat scarier Mouse King, the Seattle Ballet's version with sets by Maurice Sendak is quite intriguing. Neither one is Disney-ized!

I'm pretty sure that there is a nutcracker video starring Mikhail Barishnikov. you could probably look it up at Amazon.com or some other web seller to find out what is available.

Stockings

Does anyone know where I can purchase Christmas stockings...? I'm looking for something a bit more festive than just a plain red stocking. Thanks so much.

I have seen lovely stockings, not too hideously expensive, in both the Lands' End and L.L. Bean catalogs. I think Lillian Vernon also offers a selection.

for christmas stockings, check the global exchange on russell and college. we got some there last year, beautifully hand embroidered.

We bought ours at KMartand Target and are very happy with them. The one from KMart is bright red with a lot of bead work depicting a christmas tree and presents all around. Our Target stocking is a little more rustic - but still very nice with a pretty picture of Santa and features ribbons.

I happened to see some nice ones today at the Marshall's on Marina in San Leandro. Very pretty, rich fabrics, $10 ea. Dawn
