The Nutcracker

I remember as a little girl walking up to the MAC in Bloomington, Indiana to see my first live performance of The Nutcracker. I loved every minute of that performance... since then, The Nutcracker has been etched in my list of Christmas traditions. I have only seen it live twice, but each season I am lucky enough to find it on PBS. Tonight was the night. I absolutely love the music by Tchaikovsky. It gives me chills each time I listen to it, and I love to watch it come to life as the dancers move across the stage. This is my favorite song from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker...
