It’s the most wonderful time of the year — Thanksgiving is over and done with, and Christmas music is already filling up the radio stations and your local grocery store.

Coming up very soon is the annual Nutcracker Faire, with booths and tables galore of all kinds of goods and crafts that would make perfect gifts for your loved ones. While you’re at it, don’t forget to get your tickets for the annual Nutcracker Ballet, opening this weekend!
