My husband and I hosted Christmas this year, our first Chirstmas as a married couple. My parents came for a few days and we did something that I haven't done in years. My parents and I went to see the Nutcracker.
I have seen this ballet a few times before, although never at Lincoln Center. My birthday is in December so my mom made it a tradition to see it each year in celebration. If you ever get the chance to do this, take it. There is something to be said for a story being told with no words, only music and dance. The costumes were amazing and the children, so young, had so much talent, more than I could ever imagine having. The principle dancers were outstanding. The grace and skill they showed took my breath away. You must have so much strength and control for ballet, they say it is the second most intensive sport after football and it shows.
It was great just being in the City. The weather was perfect, felt almost like spring. We went to an Italian restaurant afterwards, just a small place we happened to come across. The food was amazing making for a perfect evening.
