A Child's Christmas in San Francisco

One of my favorite things to doing during the holidays is to watch the Pacific North West Ballet's Nutcracker film from 1986. It is the most mature, intelligent and visually stunning performances of the Nutcracker that I have ever seen. Unfortunately, it was only released on VHS and was never remastered in a DVD release. But hopefully PBS (like they did every Christmas when I was a child) will show it mid-December. It wouldn't feel like Christmas if they didn't.

Here are some of my favorite scenes in the film that I can share with you via YouTube. I hope you enjoy!
