Christmas Performances

Last night was the traditional viewing of the Nutcracker, downtown at the Aronoff. I have seen the performance at least 20-30 times starting as a child in Kansas. The only years missed have been replaced with the Rockettes or last year with a performance of White Christmas. The more memorable performance was in Salzburg, Austria in 1987 - memorable because it was in a unique location.

Jenna was the energy this year, requesting that we go. She reminisced at dinner and asked when are we going to see he Rockettes again. So I can tell Jenna will continue the tradition of attending holiday performances.

In the US the Nutcracker (since 1954) and Rockettes (since 1932) have become Christmas traditions (both spread once accepted by NYC residents). And at the Wisner household the family Christmas Eve viewing of Iving Berlin's White Christmas (1954) started in 1988.
