This GIVEAWAY has now ended!  Congrats to Jenny W. who said: “We cut down a live tree each year. I know my kids will remember this tradition when they are older”  You have 24 hours to email me at Katie(at)Cards-by-Katie(dot)com or another winner will be drawn.  I hope to see some of you at this great holiday show!  And to those who didn’t win this time, stay tuned…I have a very TASTY giveaway coming up next week!!!

I treasure all of the Christmas traditions we are creating with our children, one of my most

favorite is going to see the Children’s Theatre Christmas production.  We started this last year, with a trip to the Taft Theatre followed by a nice dinner at a restaurant downtown.  I’m eager to repeat this holiday tradition again this year.  All of the Children’s Theatre productions are fabulous for families, because they are geared towards the munchkins, but make the parents smile as well.  They are short shows, and very engaging, so even my little wild Henry sits through them in fascination.  While all of their shows are great, the Christmas production always takes the cake because it puts everyone in the Christmas spirit.

This year the Children’s Theatre will be presenting “The Day Before Christmas” and here’s a little bit about about the show from their press release:

There is a flurry of activity at the North Pole. Santa and Mrs. Claus, the elves, the reindeer, the forest animals and even the Toys themselves prepare for the biggest night of the year!   It takes a lot of planning and hard work to get a sleigh off the ground and to deliver toys to children around the world, but Santa’s team is ready and willing.  Or at least they think they are before a tricky Jack Frost decides to try to stop the Christmas Festivities with a little comical chaos and calamity!
