Dont eat the candycanes!

Last week was level 1&2′s observation week. Towards the end, we got a special treat (sneak preview) of our little candy canes. Holding 10 inch glittery plastic sweets in each hand, they spun about pointing their toes and giggling, obviously bitten by the holiday bug. Needless to say, there was the obvious disappointment that the treats they were holding were props and not giant peppermints. (Try telling their imaginations that.)

Well it’s getting to be that time of year, isn’t it? Starbucks has officially brought out their red holiday cups and every time I pass a retail store, there are glittery snowflakes and holiday hoopla in every window.

With snow in the forecast this week, all we need now is a cup of our favorite hot beverage, a meal with our loved ones and a seat at America’s favorite holiday tradition, The Nutcracker Spectacular! The whisper is that this year’s performance is going to be a magical gift for the whole family, capturing the attention of all ages! I for one am looking forward to the experience
