Happy December everyone!
As we are closing out the Peacock Plumes Afghan CAL, we are also closing out the 2022 CalendarGhan eBook. Today brings you a beautiful holiday afghan created especially for December. If you read further down, you’ll find a nice Holiday gift from me to you!
I’ve had this vision of sugar plums dancing in my head for several years now, and I’ve finally made it a reality. I have always been completely IN LOVE with the story of the Nutcracker ever since I saw the live ballet performance as a young girl. It was magical then, and the magic continues every year. I even set my cell phone ringtone to “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies” each December. This is one of my favorite musical pieces for the Holidays. It exudes magic, and fairies, and the wonder of the Season. It just makes me happy when I hear it. Please enjoy this video performance by the Royal Opera House.
Now just imagine if you saw this LIVE. I can certainly tell you that it made such an immense impression on me as a young girl. Isn’t it just breathtaking?
During this magical season, I also want to share with you some suggestions for Holiday gift giving – of the Nutcracker variety. Check out this list of various assortments of Nutcracker movies, for rent and for sale. They include ballet performances, animations, Hallmark productions, and my own personal favorite – the Baryshnikov performance. Click on the image below to see the entire list of Nutcracker entertainment that is sure to please everyone.
