The Nutcracker – Houston Ballet

Tonight, we’re going to the see The Nutcracker performed by the Houston Ballet.  I’m so excited!  This is something I’ve been wanting to do since I was ten years old and our fifth grade music teacher brought Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker” to music class.  It was so exciting to hear about the magic and to listen to the “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy”.  I don’t remember the name of the music teacher, but I never forgot about my dream to see The Nutcracker ballet.

It’s fun to get really dressed up in your Christmas finest and to drive to downtown Houston in the chilly weather amidst all the Christmas lights for a little culture.  There may be hot chocolate afterwards.
