Seeing a live performance of The Nutcracker was one of my favorite holiday traditions when I was growing up. The dancing, the music, the costumes; It was like watching a magical Christmas dream on stage! My favorite scenes were, and still are, the big Christmas party at the beginning and the ever-famous Sugar Plum Fairy Dance. I’d leave dancing and spinning the night away.
