So the Nutcracker Ballet is one of my favorite parts of Christmas! I just love to get dressed up and go, since I don't get the chance all the time. Due to time constraints and being sick, Chris and I didn't get to go until the day after Christmas. I wasn't sure how much I would love going after Christmas, but it was so nice to expand Christmas a little bit! Of course, Chris and I were sick for a few weeks around Christmas and the night we went was no different. Chris was the worst off. He was coughing and was just miserable. But he was such a good sport since he knew how much I wanted to go. We usually would have gone to dinner before, but didn't judge the time it would take to get there very well because we were in the middle of a storm. So we got take out from the Olive Garden across the street and we ate it in the car pretty fast. It was definitely a new experience and something to remember, but I don't think I want to eat in the car like that again! I of course loved the show and Chris was a really good sport. There was a guy behind us that was talking really loud in the beginning, but he stopped talking part way through, so it was fine. But it is so sad that Christmas is over! I can't believe it's the middle of January!
Before Christmas we went to A Christmas Carol at Hale Center Theatre. It was so good! I ended up getting free tickets from work and I'm so glad we went. The man playing scrooge was amazing! I guess he's been doing it for the last 25 years, and he really just made the show. But Hale Center Theatre is a pretty cool place. It's really small and old Shakespeare Theatre-esque. Everyone had a great view. A Christmas Carol may battle my priority to see the Nutcracker every year!
