A Christmas Wish...

...finally fulfilled!  Last night we travelled to the McCarter Theatre Centre in Princeton.  We arrived  a bit early --and had the weather been a bit warmer it would have been an excellent opportunity to walk about the campus grounds.  But, it was colddd....  So, we found a parking spot right at the bottom of the stairs leading up into the theatre building -- and went inside and waited.  The kids loved the building with all its twists, turns, nooks and crannies.  Our seats were in the balcony -- way up there -- 2 more short flights of steps higher than where the kids are standing in the picture.  We had a center view of the stage and no heads in front of us to block the view.  Rick and the kids all loved the play -- and one of my long time Christmas wishes came true.  I have always wanted to attend a Christmas themed play during the holiday season -- and to be able to finally have this happen with my family is like icing on a cake!  The actor (Graeme Malcolm) who portrayed Ebeneezer Scrooge was outstanding, and the other actors surrounding him rose to his level.  The play was lively, a bit humorous -- and sad -- at times.  It drew us into the story so much that when it ended we couldn't believe 2 hours had passed...   

...tick, tick, tick... Speaking of time -- I must get going -- the elves are running around here like crazy and begging me to join them...  Shhh!  Don't tell anyone...
