Blogmas Day 7 – Nutcracker Ballet

Like most Christmas lovers, I have always been a fan of the Nutcracker and the music that goes along with it. When I was little, I was given a Nutcracker snow globe from my grandparents. It has a statue of Clara holding up her toy Nutcracker inside and plays the Nutcracker’s March. When I was younger, so I wouldn’t break it, my mom would put it away with our Christmas decorations. Every year when I saw my favorite snow globe come out I knew that it was time for the Christmas season to begin.

It was always a goal of my sister, mom, and I to see the ballet in person. When my sister and I were little, we would watch the Barbie Nutcracker movie all December long waiting for the day we could see the real thing. A few years ago, we finally got to go together. It was a beautiful and entertaining show. My sister wasn’t a fan but my mom and I had a blast and can’t wait to go again. I love the Nutcracker.

Blogmas Day 8 – Board Games

When I think about board games and Christmas I think about Monopoly! Growing up, Christmas Eve was a day full of traditions in my house. One of those traditions was to play a full days worth of Monopoly together as a family. This game was always intense! Each one of us had our own strategy and some years it got pretty heated. The more my sister would lose, the more heated the year. We haven’t played in a few years but I hope the tradition comes back because it was always a fun (and crazy) family bonding time.
