 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. CommentsMon, 09 Nov 2009 18:08:22 My younger son, Aaron LOVES this story and has about ten different picture books of it.

It is really good for them to see the arts. Tue, 10 Nov 2009 06:57:51 I have an 11yr old boy, an 8yr old girl, and a3yr old boy that would all love to go. Being a single father we often do not get the chance to do things like this because of the cost. This would be a great opportunity for us to spend some family time together outside the home.. Thank You Marianne Tue, 10 Nov 2009 07:50:50 My 10 year old daughter would love to see the ballet and my 3 year old son would like to see Santa Claus. Maryann Tue, 10 Nov 2009 08:25:41 Another great art form to introduce to our grandchildren. Close to home and reasonably priced! Tue, 10 Nov 2009 08:42:33 My 4 year old daughter is in dance class, and she loves ballet. She would be fascinated by this event. Also...my 2 year old son takes after his big sister and dances ALL the time, sometimes even in his sister's dress up clothes, so he would get a kick out of it too! Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:56:20 My daughter, Elli, is taking ballet this year and is into all things ballet. My very-inclined-to-dance gotta-lotta-rhythm husband is loving being a "ballet dad". This would definitely be a family treat! Krista Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:20:53 My daughters are 5 and 7 and love to dance and put on plays of their own. This would be a very special evening for them! Heather Hollander Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:37:09 My Daughter has just started dancing around the house and singing and I been trying to find ways to encourage her to dance and since. I just found a few places that do dance classes and then I see this and it's another great way for her to see that it can be fun. Laura B Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:12:03 My 4yo would love to see this show.

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:53:29 My 3 year old daughter is really into dancing right now and I think she would LOVE this! I also think the mingling with Santa and the cast would just make her day!! Tinnille Hoffman Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:51:36 My 7 year old daughter would love to see this. She missed her field trip to the Griffen's game today with school due to the flu. She was so disappointed. This would make up for it and definatley bring a smile to her face. Krisanne Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:43:50 My kids are young (2 and 14 mos), so we are just creating our family traditions - I think my two year old, especially would love to see all the dancing. I grew up reading the story as a family every Christmas Eve, so this would be a wonderful extension of that family tradition... megan Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:32:29 Our son is 2 and LOVES dancing, books and Santa- We would love to be able to take him to this ballet and begin a wonderful family tradition! Natasha Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:38:24 My girls (ages 4 & 7) would both enjoy this performance, but I have to admit it may be me who would be the most excited:) Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:16:39 My daughter who is 8 would love to see this. She has been here only 2 1/2 years from China and loves these kinds of activities. She would love to bring her 2 friends along too. Devon Thu, 12 Nov 2009 08:20:32 I think it would be a tie in our family as to who would like to see this the most. Our little girl is the dancer in the family; her older brother loves any type of musical performance; the mom is giddy about Christmas and loves to watch the joy & excitement about the holiday in the little's eyes; the dad beams as he takes in all the sights. Thank you Melody for this INCREDIBLE website. You have helped our family begin to learn our way around GR - - we feel like we have a friend showing us around. Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:41:17 I definitely believe my daughter would win this for the most that wanted to see it in our family. She is SSOOOOO into dance right now it isn't even funny! I just love to watch her. I think seeing this would give her some great new moves! Thanks for the chance! Shan Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:48:34 My 2 oldest kids would LOVE this. My daughter just started taking ballet this year (she is 6) and my son loves anything that has to do with theater. :) Jaime Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:09:13 My daughter who is 3 would ABSOLUTELY love this! She loves the story and loves to dance. I am sure she would be twirling around with the dancers! Guaranteed she would wear her tutu! Jaime Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:11:44 My daughter whom is 3 would love to go and see the show. Not only is she fascinated with dancers she LOVES the story! I am sure you will see her strutting around in her tutu if we win! Nicole Sat, 14 Nov 2009 05:43:32 Our family loves doing fun and enriching activities together! My son and daughter would love to see the show because they are both interested in joining a ballet company one day. Becky Sat, 14 Nov 2009 06:05:05 My 9-year-old daughter, her grandmother and myself would love to attend this beautiful holiday ballet. It would really make the start of the holiday season just so special jill Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:19:52 My 4 year-old daughter would love to see this ballet. She takes a ballet class and loves to dance and twirl like a princess. Seeing Ho Ho (what she calls santa) would make it that much more special for her. Joan Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:24:27 my grandson loves all things fantasy! he's two, but will sit entranced for hours if it is theatre of any kind. Crystal Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:59:56 My oldest daugther (3) just started ballet this year, and she loves watching dancers perform. It would be wonderful for her her to see. jennifer Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:15:27 My 8 year old son would love this! He is interested in art, music, theater, and anything that involves the stage. It would be a great family event to attend together! Karen Tue, 17 Nov 2009 07:18:16 Our four year old daughter is taking a ballet and tap dance class. She would love to see "big girls" dancing. It would also be a great experience for our eight year old son to see boys/men dancing. He has had to go to his sisters dance class once or twice and thinks dance is just for girls. Stephanie Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:09:32 My kids ( 8 and almost 5) have attended the ballet and just love it! This would be a wonderful way to get into the Christmas spirit and a great way to enhance their love of music and dance. This is a great website and very helpful as we are from Grand Haven, THANKS! Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:31:54 My kids would adore it!! My 5 year old could probably not care so much about the ballet aspect...but loves plays and watching any sort of performance. On the other hand, my 3 year old LOVES ballet and would gush if I even mentioned the word!! I would probably leave the youngest at home. Even an hour would have her a little antsy :) Kathleen Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:32:34 I would love to be able to take my three children ages 8,5,3 to a play. What a fun way to celebrate Christmas together.. Willow Cramer Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:26:41 I think I would enjoy it the most though I am sure my daughter would love it also and it would be great for my husband to come with us!! Heather C Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:10:45 My 4 year old daughter would absolutely love to see Twas the night before Christmas. She dreams of being a ballerina and loves to take ballet class. It would really make her day if I could take her to a ballet! My son also loves musicals and I know he would really enjoy it! Jocelyn Mon, 23 Nov 2009 06:41:17 My 2 1/2 year old, has been to one school play and one movie and was entranced. I could say he is the one who would be most excited but the truth is I am the one who can't wait to sit next to him and watch him become absorbed in the show. Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:05:06 What a great response. Whether you won or not, I hope you all get a chance to make it out to this performance.
