Just last weekend Jess and I went to see a showing of this Christmas classic at the local community college theater.
We had great seats for a stunning performance.
Ballet is a truly magical art, don't you think?
During intermission they had a cozy display of baked goods, fizzy punch, and dozens of brightly painted Nutcrackers for sale.
Jess and I treated ourselves to a couple of red velvet cupcakes and cocoa cookies.
We had a wonderful night at the theater. Have you seen the Nutcracker this Christmas season?

I have seen the Nutcracker ballet many times but not this year, and also have a collection of about 20 wooden nutcrackers gathered over many years.

I absolutely love the Nutcracker ballet...and no I haven't been in several years. This is a reminder that we must go next year.
It is a magnificent production and though I did not make any performances this year, last year's show was a great success, seeing two of my dear students dance.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! Anita
Fantastic! Especially at Christmas time... I' ve never seen Nutcracker ballet live and I haven't this figure, but it' s fantastic.
All the best for Christmas!

Oh that sounds like such fun. I have never seen a ballet and have longed to see the nutcracker. One day I know I will see it in person. I love to go to school Christmas shows. We used to go to dinner theaters all the time. We have not gone for 3 threes now. I miss that kind of entertainment. Merry Christmas to you and yours.xoxo,Susie

What a fun tradition to have in your family. I haven't seen The Nutcracker in a couple of years. Two of my granddaughters played the angels in the play for two years in a row. It was a lot of fun to see them- xo Diana
What a beautiful tradition you have.That sounds like such fun.
Marry Christmas to you and your family!
Many hugs,
Nely!

I have not seen the Nutcracker this season. It looks like you both enjoyed the ballet! I am so busy cleaning today and getting ready. We will have my family coming and going this week starting in a few hours. My son and I are headed to mass soon. I wish you a Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year!
