The Blog needed a holiday makeover

"Peace on Earth will come to stay

when we live Christmas every day" -Helen Steiner Rice

The tree is up! The garlands, wreaths, and stockings are hung!

New holiday dvds have been bought. The baking has begun.

And the house is filled with Christmas music.

I love it all!

Gift lists have been made. I have post its, and notes all over my phone. My trusty Christmas planner is out. {truth be told, my tree's been up since early november :D} And I'm ready to go look at lights! I was lucky enough to start the Christmas season the best way possible! Saturday after Thanksgiving, I had tickets to see...

And it was A M A Z I N G ! ! ! !

The sets, the costumes, the story, everything was incredible! The music & singing of course were amazing!!! I had to get up early, after only 4 hrs of sleep, to drive about 3 hrs to Tulsa. So I was regrettably tired, and now all I want to do is immediately go see it again! I really wanted to see it in New York, but the last time I went, we were pressed for time.

The merchandise case was sooo cute. Everything on the wood was carved and so pretty. I'm such a nerd, I know. And they had so much stuff I want! Defy Gravity tshirts, and bright green embroidered Wicked track jackets. Even charms. I've always wanted a charm bracelet. I bought the umbrella, and when opened, it reveals a little message:

. . . . . . . . . "Careful my dear, you mustn't get wet" hehe, I love it.

The Emerald City costumes were my favorite!

Above is a poster outside the Civic Center,

& the stage before it started.

It's a map of Oz, with a bat up above.

If you ever have the chance to go, you must!

And go green! With Elphaba :)
