This was a nice post. It brought back my memories growing up in the NY metro area and every T-Giving, without fail, this movie was shown on WPIX-11 beginning at 11:30.
I still like that movie, as corny as it is (but, funny stuff too from L&H) for sentimental reasons.
Makes me long for those simpler days.
Thia may sound silly, but the scene at the end when the wooden soldiers come marching out of the warehouse still gives me chills.
