Is there some law that all holiday-themed commercials must use "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"
from "The Nutcracker?"

I'm beginning to think so.

Come on, advertising agencies -- Can't you think of anything else to use?

1. I vote for "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer."
I think it would make a great aftershave commercial.

4. Tchikovsky hated that piece
The Nutcracker was done on commission - he needed the money.
