Another Great GiveAway!  I have the opportunity to give away (5) Family Packs of 4 tickets each to the Friday night performance!

This original ballet, based on Clement C. Moore's familiar poem and set to familiar Christmas music, has become a holiday tradition in Grand Rapids. Mischievous mice, dancing stockings, and Santa with his sleigh and prancing reindeer combine to create a magical holiday treat.

The performance (perfect for families...one hour long...) includes an opportunity to visit with Santa and the cast on stage after the show, so don't forget your camera! 

It's easy to enter to win these tickets!  Just leave a comment on the blog telling who in your family would like to see 'Twas the most and why.  Good luck, and winners will be chosen by random drawing On November 23.
 
 
Thanksgiving is just around the bend, and the Christmas lights will follow soon after.  It's a crazy, magical season.  For kids, the newness of it all is part of the magic.  For parents, the memories and traditions can contribute to a delightful season.  But stress, shopping, cooking, family gatherings, and more can take the glow out of your Holidays.

Experts tell us to slow down, eat less, move more, and we will feel better.  But the reality of it is that most moms MAKE the holidays happen in the home.  So, my question for you is, before we get swept up into the busyness of it all, what puts sanity into your holiday routine?  Have you decided to give something up this year?  Are there traditions that are sacred to your family?  How do you help your kids with the "gimmes"?

Share your ideas on how you make the holidays a cozy place for your family.  I think others want to hear what you have to say.  I know I do!
