Nutcracker Memories

AAhhhh late-afternoon of Christmas Day. By now, most children whose families celebrate Christmas will have torn through layers upon layers of wrapping paper, and are now sleeping peacefully as they crash from their sugar highs brought on by all the sweets they have stuffed themselves with the last 24 hours. Anyway, as I sit here reflecting on the Holidays and what they mean to me, I can’t help but think of my childhood memories and one thing that was ALWAYS a big part of them when I was growing up: The Nutcracker.
