How many years of Nutcracker?

I didn't know this: Tchaikovsky's ballet "The Nutcracker" publicly

premiered on this date in 1892.

I've only seen it performed once, many years ago. Anybody else have

a tradition of seeing it every year?

We took our daughters to see it before Christmas one year when they were young.

What I remember:

Husband wasn't happy to have to drive downtown in all the traffic.

Youngest daughter didn't want to dress up and sit through the program.

I was worried about the snowy weather and the roads.

Oldest daughter was excited about the show and entranced with the performance.

One out of four ain't bad....................

I love it, I watch it on PBS. My daughters have danced sections of it for recitals, it's a lovely piece of music and dance.
