Have a movie night and give ‘The Wizard of Oz’ a view, at the time of writing it is available on Amazon Prime. Famous for having the Tin Man in it. A bit of trivia about this film, is that Buddy Ebsen was originally going to play the role of the Tin Man. Indeed it is his singing voice in the film. However he had an allergic reaction to the aluminium powder used for make up which allowed Jack Haley to star as The Tin Man. We like the trivia as it covers both traditional and the modern gift themes for this anniversary!
