    WHAT:        Skating Champion Michelle Kwan, Disney Princesses and
                 hundreds of children welcomed the holiday season last night,
                 lighting a spectacular 25-foot, purple Disney Princess
                 Holiday Tree at Toys "R" Us Times Square, The Center of the
                 Toy Universe.  Children made their own magic wands before

                 Belle, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Kwan
                 bestow gifts upon the tree.  Then, everyone together used
                 their special wishes and wands to light the tree for the
                 holiday season.
