I will typically cop a line from Curt and say that something has been my lifelong dream since November 2008 or since February 2006. I don't, however, remember a time when I didn't want to see a live version of the Nutcracker. It is my favorite Christmas music. I listen to it every morning from the day after Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve. It's not something I recall my family particularly liking; I just picked it. I love nutcrackers, and I love the music to the ballet.
I had seen several different productions of the ballet on TV, but never live. I had never, in fact, seen a live ballet.
On December 11, 2009, I saw the Joffery ballet perform the Nutcracker.
It was perfect and beautiful, everything a little girl wants a ballet to be. It was full of snowflakes and flower petals falling from the sky and lush costumes.
Afterwards, I got treated to a salted caramel ice cream on a chocolate tart and a mint chocolate pot de creme, some of the best things I have ever eaten. I slept in a magnificiently comfortable, huge bed with feather pillows. I fell asleep just in pure bliss.
It was truly one of the most wonderful nights of my life.
